Is Deebo Samuel playing today? Injury update for 49ers WR vs Cowboys

The latest injury news on the 49ers receiver ahead of Week 8’s SNF vs Dallas. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys secondary hasn’t been whole all season. after missing still the practice sessions this week, All- Pro cornerback DaRon Bland will miss guys seventh straight contest to start the season as he tries to come back from foot surgery. With Trevon Diggs trying to return to form after testing his ACL in 2023 and rookie Caelen Carson nursing a shoulder injury for the last month, the unit hasn’t been up to the task.

Matters are made worse as the pass rush group is even more banged up, losing two key rotational guys to free agency and not missing the top four of the 2024 depth chart. That’s why they’ll feel no empathy if San Francisco 49er targets go to guys plucked of the street.

And despite missing two of there top targets, it appears Deebo Samuel will give things a go on Sunday.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter it’s reporting that despite spending part of the week in the hospital with pneumonia after posting just four snaps in Week 7, the offensive weapon is going to play on Sunday Night Football.

The 49ers places Brandon Aiyuk on injured reserve earlier in the week and rules Juaun Jennings out already.

Samuel will give it a go as first-round rookie Ricky Pearsal will make his season debut after an off-season gunshot wound to the chest.

NFL players are divided on the league allowing No. 0 on jerseys

Next season we’ll see players wearing a number not seen in decades.

For the first time in 50 years, we will see an NFL player wear No. 0 on their jersey during the 2023 season.

On Tuesday, the NFL voted to allow skill players (anyone who isn’t on the offensive or defensive line) to wear No. 0 on their uniform if they so choose. It’s admittedly a minor aesthetic change overall, but it’s one that some players should absolutely take advantage of if they can.

With an entire catalog of numbers now available to most guys in the league, some took to Twitter to react to the news. Some, like a certain Jacksonville Jaguars playmaker, even maintained that they’d be making the switch immediately. But not everyone was a fan of the No. 0, especially of its limitations on positions.
