SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been released from the hospital after being treated for pneumonia.

Samuel was released from a local hospital Tuesday afternoon, a team source told ESPN. He went to the hospital on Sunday evening after discovering he had fluid in his lungs.

“I think it started in the middle of the night Saturday night or early Sunday morning and then it evolved throughout the day,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “Once we found out he had fluid in his lungs and stuff after the game, I think they sent him over there.”

Samuel started feeling sick late Saturday and early Sunday. He arrived at Levi’s Stadium and the team announced he was sick but expected to play about 30 minutes before kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs.

But Samuel was only able to play four snaps before leaving the game. He did not return, and Shanahan later said Samuel had trouble breathing in addition to throat and stomach problems.

Shanahan said Monday he wasn’t sure whether Samuel would be available for Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, although more clarity on that should come Wednesday when the Niners return to practice after being away Tuesday.

Samuel is one of several Niners receivers dealing with illness or injury. Brandon Aiyuk’s season is over due to a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, Jauan Jennings has a hip injury and Chris Conley has a sprained ankle.
