Kyle Shanahan says the San Francisco 49ers have high hopes for a former Ole Miss receiver as the team embraces a next-man-up approach early in the season. Both outlets note the 49ers begin the season 2-0, but still are adjusting due to circumstances that require depth players to step in.
The coverage frames Shanahan’s comments as part of the team’s broader roster and preparation mindset. While the early record is positive, the articles emphasize that injuries or other roster needs are still shaping day-to-day personnel decisions. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post present the same central theme: Shanahan is looking toward the former Ole Miss player to contribute meaningfully despite a season environment that can quickly demand adjustments.
