The San Francisco 49ers add wide receiver Dante Pettis, reuniting with the player they drafted in the second round in 2018. Reports say Pettis works out with the team and that San Francisco intends to bring him in if he completes required medical steps.
Both outlets link the move to injuries affecting the 49ers’ wide receiver group. The New York Post frames the signing as a response to current availability issues at the position, noting Pettis is returning to San Francisco, where his NFL career began. Yahoo Sports similarly describes the decision as adding a familiar veteran receiver to an injury-depleted group.
The accounts differ mainly in emphasis. The New York Post highlights Pettis’ long gap since being drafted and his return to the franchise. Yahoo Sports specifies that the 49ers plan to place Pettis on the practice squad, contingent on passing a physical. Across sources, the core point is that Pettis’ workout with the team leads to a potential practice-squad addition.
