The San Francisco 49ers have announced that wide receiver Deebo Samuel is dealing with an illness but is still expected to play in their Week 7 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 49ers are already without wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who was ruled out for the game. On Saturday, the team activated rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall from the non-football injury (NFI) list. Pearsall is set to make his NFL debut just seven weeks after being shot in the chest during a robbery attempt in San Francisco.
This season, Samuel has recorded 20 catches for 335 yards and a touchdown. He also has 19 carries for 51 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
San Francisco is favored by 2.5 points ahead of kickoff.
