San Francisco 49ers star receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. is in the hospital with pneumonia and fluid in his lungs, his head coach Kyle Shanahan announced on Monday.
San Franciscco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that star receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. is currently hospitalized with pneumonia and fluid in his lungs after trying to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
There is currently no timetable for Samuel’s return, as the team focuses on a full recovery.
Samuel was expected to play in the Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the Chiefs at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, but he was spotted on the sidelines with an oxygen mask around his face as he dealt with an illness.
He was also spotted in some sort of pain during warmups, though he had his pads and jersey on when he was on the sidelines ready to go before the oxygen mask was worn.
Then, after standing on the sideline, Samuel jogged back into the locker room and was ultimately out the rest of the game, wearing street clothes on the sideline with a towel wrapped around his neck.
