49ers' Deebo Samuel: Released from hospital

Samuel (illness) was discharged from a San Francisco-area hospital Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

The wideout had been admitted to the hospital Sunday, after he had played just four snaps against Kansas City before exiting the game when he experienced a buildup of fluid in his lungs. While Samuel's discharge is a positive sign, head coach Kyle Shanahan said the receiver is without a clear timeline to resume practicing or playing while he recovers from his bout of pneumonia. The 49ers' pass-catching corps could be down multiple key members Sunday against the Cowboys, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out for the season, while receivers Jauan Jennings (hip) and Chris Conley (ankle), plus tight end George Kittle (foot), are viewed as day-to-day.
