The problems for the 49ers aren’t ending. Particularly in the wide receiver department. Earlier, Brandon Aiyuk suffered an ankle injury which might have ended his season. Now, Deebo Samuel has been diagnosed with pneumonia. Here’s the update on the WR.

Though he played against the Chiefs in the week 7 game, he had to leave the field in the 3rd quarter and was later out of the game. Later, the receiver went to the hospital, where tests revealed fluid in his lungs. Though he was later released from the hospital, there is no timeline for his return to the team. Now, Deebo Samuels shared an Instagram story with his fans and wrote, “Appreciate all yall checking in”

The coach Kyle Shanahan has to find solutions. It’s high time. He is keeping an update on the receiver’s health and said, “We’ll see how he recovers here over these next couple days.” His loss is a big jolt to the team.

A 6-year veteran for the Niners, Deebo Samuel has played 5 games for them this season. The WR has 20 receptions for 335 yards with 1 touchdown. His rushing game was also been just fine. With 14 attempts in 51 yards and 1 touchdown, the receiver provided stability to the O-line.

For now, the locker room is happy after one of their receivers returned to the gridiron.

Deebo Samuel props up his fellow rookie WR

Despite the setbacks, the 49ers have a silver lining too. Though they have dealt with problems since the start of the season as the rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot in his chest. He has now returned. During the SNF game against the Chiefs, he had 3 passes for 21 yards.

The Niners Empire was elated after his return. They even gave him a standing ovation. Now, Deebo Samuel also shared an IG story with Pearsall’s photo and Hunxho’s song Ups & Downs. That’s some team spirit there. The coach also felt pride in seeing the rookie in action. During the post-game conference, he said, “I was proud of Ricky just for him having to be ready for some spots that we were hoping he didn’t have to be ready for.”

The only question now is who will lead the turnaround. Brock Purdy will have to take charge here. After 7 games, they are struggling with a 3-4 win-loss record. The time now is to rethink their strategies. They still have time. Can they do it against the Cowboys? We’ll find out soon.
