The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. and tight end George Kittle are both active for “Sunday Night Football” versus the Dallas Cowboys. Both entered the weekend as questionable to play with Kittle still battling a foot sprain and Samuel Sr. recovering from pneumonia that landed him in the hospital earlier in the week. Last week, Samuel Sr. managed to play just three snaps before exiting the game, so San Francisco having their “wideback” available does give the team an extra weapon in the backfield and in the passing game. They will also lean on Chris Conley and young receivers – Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell – to fill in for Jauan Jennings (hip) and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL, MCL) who are sidelined due to injury.
On the defensive side of the ball, defensive back Deommodore Lenoir, who was a late add to the injury, is active for Sunday’s showdown despite coming down with an illness on Friday.
