Everyone is Saying the Same Thing About San Francisco 49ers WR Room
Deebo Samuel's dramatic homecoming anchors a revamped receiving corps as the 49ers scramble to offset a season-ending injury to former first-round selection Ricky Pearsall.

The 49ers are gonna be fine while Kyle's out, because they have experienced coaches, and they've got a culture that is all set, you know, all together.
So, some other stuff that Nick said, George Kittle's on PUP, but came out during practice to watch team drills and chat up John Lynch.
Also, did some rehab work out on the field earlier, so how long he'll be on PUP remains to be seen, but he's continuing to work.
Also, saw Isaac Guerendo doing the same, and Alfred Collins doing extensive work out on the side.
Again, Collins seems to be on the quickest timeline to return.
I, I assume that when pads go on, Collins will be out there.
With Kittle, it's touch and go, and take your time.
I wouldn't be mad if they, they wanted to keep him in, wrapped up until week one or week two, whenever it is that they want him to get out there.
With Guerendo, you've gotta find a way to get on the field, man, because you are on the clock, dude.
Your, your, your spot is up for grabs at this point, especially if Jordan James continues to impress, especially if Kaylin Black comes in here and he starts to show that he can, he can, you know, do some things, for the 49ers, you know, either catching passes, pass blocking, or running the football, so.
Among those getting return opportunities, and I think this was interesting during special teams' period, Junior Burgin, Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowan, Will Pauling.
I think right now for Watkins and Cowan, this is going to be the most important part of their battle.
Obviously, getting whatever reps you can is important, but you have to show something on special teams if you wanna stick around, so.
And Junior Burgin, that's all he really does.
Will Pauling, you know, the same sort of thing.
But I think that is going to be something that we have to figure out in terms of, hey, who's gonna be the actual punt returner?
And that'll let you know right off the bat who's gonna be making this roster, as well, too.
