San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been cleared to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after a hamstring strain.

The San Francisco 49ers have cleared wide receiver Deebo Samuel to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after he was ruled off the injury report Friday. Samuel sustained a hamstring strain against the Seahawks in Week 5 and has not played for the team since. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Samuel 'had a good week' and remained 'healthy', though noted he is 'still getting back into it' in his first week back.

The team will remain without star receiver Mike Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis and has now missed three straight games. Shanahan said Evans' injury is 'going in the right direction' and indicated the 49ers are taking a cautious approach given their 7-1 record and top spot in the NFC West. 'I'm sure if this was the last game or something he would be able to go out there. But we're just trying to make sure it fully heals so it doesn't act up again,' Shanahan told reporters.

The 49ers have bolstered their receiving corps by acquiring veteran Keenan Allen ahead of the trade deadline. Allen is set to make his 49ers debut against Dallas after three practices with the team. Shanahan said Allen 'had a good week' and is 'catching up on a lot of the plays'. The team also has concerns over left tackle Trent Williams, who remains questionable after injuring his shoulder in practice this week.
