Before meeting the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers welcomed back a pair of key playmakers to practice on Wednesday in Santa Clara. Both wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle were spotted at practice on Wednesday.
Samuel played three snaps on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest due to an illness. Samuel was later hospitalized with pneumonia. Samuel was recently released from the hospital. He joined Kittle on the practice field on Wednesday. Kittle missed practice early in the week due to a foot sprain.

With Brandon Aiyuk added to the injured reserve, the 49ers will need to lean on players like Samuel and Kittle in the passing attack. Alongside Kittle and Samuel, rookies Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall could see an increased role.
The 49ers will meet the Cowboys at 5:20 p.m. PT on Sunday in Santa Clara.
