San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel attempted to play through an illness during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He left the game early, and Kyle Shanahan told reporters after the game that Samuel exited because he was struggling to breathe.

Shanahan told reporters Monday that Samuel had been hospitalized due to a pneumonia-like illness, and noted that he had fluid in his lungs.
