49ers Face Receiver Crisis After Aiyuk's Season-Ending Injury

Deebo Samuel hospitalized with pneumonia as 49ers struggle with multiple injuries ahead of Cowboys matchup.

  • Brandon Aiyuk is out for the season after suffering a torn ACL during the 49ers' recent loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • Deebo Samuel was hospitalized with pneumonia, missing the game review session; his availability for the upcoming game against Dallas is uncertain.
