Niners WR Deebo Samuel (wrist/illness), TE George Kittle (foot) are expected to play against the Cowboys

Samuel and Kittle did not participate in practice on Wednesday. However, the Pro Bowl WR and TE completed a limited session on Thursday and Friday. Both were officially listed as questionable for Week 8.

Earlier this week, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Samuel was suffering from a “pneumonia-like” illness and was hospitalized due to fluid in his lungs. Samuel was released from the hospital on Tuesday and was able to take part in training on Thursday.

In San Francisco's Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Samuel was limited and played only four snaps in the loss.

Meanwhile, Shanahan announced Monday that Kittle remains under consideration because of his foot injury.
