The San Francisco 49ers are facing the Dallas Cowboys in a Week 8 battle that will have a big impact on the NFC wild-card standings.
San Francisco will be undermanned as it looks to beat Dallas for a fourth consecutive time, but the 49ers may at least get one of their top receiving weapons back for the contest.
Deebo Samuel barely played last week during the 49ers’ 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs while dealing with an illness. He was hospitalized after the game but returned to practice in short order.
Here’s what to know about Samuel’s status for the 49ers’ Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys.

Samuel is listed as “questionable” for the 49ers’ “Sunday Night Football” game against the Cowboys, and it seems like he may truly be a toss-up.
Samuel acknowledged after Friday’s practice that he feels “pretty good” and had a “pretty solid” week, per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner . However, the veteran receiver was mum about his status for Sunday night’s game.
