The 49ers’ receiving corps has already taken several hits this season. Jalen Hurd and Trent Taylor are both on Injured Reserve. Rookie Deebo Samuel missed Week 7 with a groin injury, and now Dante Pettis has been added to the injury report with a knee ailment that limited him in Thursday’s practice.
San Francisco’s group of receivers was already struggling. Injuries to the position that either force players out of the lineup, or play at less than 100 percent certainly won’t help.
We’ll keep a close eye on Pettis’ status Friday. This could be the team’s new training staff just being cautious and limiting the receiver in a Thursday practice ahead of a game that precedes a short week. If it’s something more, we’ll find out with Friday’s status report for Sunday.
Here’s what Thursday’s full practice report looks like:
