Deebo Samuel injury update: Will the 49ers WR play vs. the Cowboys?

The San Francisco 49ers may finally be catching a break on the injury front at wide receiver.

Mike Evans is already ruled out with Achilles tendinitis for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, but there should be reinforcements on the way. Not only did the 49ers add veteran Keenan Allen at the trade deadline, they also got some positive news on Deebo Samuel.

Here's the latest on the former All-Pro WR:

Deebo Samuel injury update

Samuel initially hurt his hamstring in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. The nature of the injury made it appear he'd be out for more than a game or two. He wound up missing four weeks (three games) before returning to practice in Week 10. He was limited the first two practices of the week, but the 49ers listed him as a full go in Friday's session.

Will Deebo Samuel play vs. Dallas Cowboys?

Barring something strange happening between Friday and Sunday, Samuel will suit up and play in Dallas. He doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game.

What Kyle Shanahan said about Deebo Samuel's injury update

Shanahan on Friday told reporters Samuel is a full go for Sunday.

"Yep. He had a good week. Healthy," Shanahan said. "First week back, so he’s still getting back into it health-wise. I thought he took care of himself real well while he was injured and had a good week.”

Who else will start at wide receiver for the 49ers?

With no Evans we can expect a heavy dose of Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Watkins as he continues growing into a larger role. Allen should be in the mix as well after arriving early in the week. He may get some early looks as part of the scripted opening.
