The 49ers Agree to Deal to Add WR Brandin Cooks to Practice Squad, AP Source Says
The veteran receiver is expected to help San Francisco cover for multiple injuries, including three wideouts sidelined and one more managed this week.
- On Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers signed veteran WR Brandin Cooks to the practice squad to bolster their injury-depleted receiving corps, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
- Injuries have thinned the 49ers' receiver room, with Ricky Pearsall out for the season, De'Zhaun Stribling facing roughly 10 weeks out, and Demarcus Robinson recently suffering a high-ankle sprain.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Robinson is a candidate for injured reserve while explicitly rejecting a potential return for Brandon Aiyuk, who remains on the reserve/left squad list.
- Veteran wide receiver Mike Evans is managing a hip injury this week, leaving the 49ers to rely on Deebo Samuel and depth options against the Arizona Cardinals.
- Turning 33 on Friday, Cooks needs 189 yards to reach 10,000 career receiving yards, providing a potential deep-threat asset as the 49ers seek to sustain their 2-0 start.
