The San Francisco 49ers announced an illness to wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who will reportedly play through it.

The Niners are already without Jauan Jennings. If Samuel isn’t 100 percent, that could mean we see a larger dose of Ricky Pearsall than previously expected.
It could also mean a bigger workload for Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle in the passing game. If Brock Purdy leans on his top targets, the Niners have a tremendous chance to win today.
