When it comes to the wide receiver room for the San Francisco 49ers this summer, more of the focus has been on the players not practicing than those who are.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing is tackled by New Orleans Saints cornerback Rejzohn Wright during the first half of a preseason NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing goes out of bounds next to New Orleans Saints cornerback Rejzohn Wright during the first half of a preseason NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024.
Cowing knew he needed to prove himself at the pro level and couldn’t do that early in camp while dealing with the hamstring injury. That’s why the last week of practice was so important in building his belief and gaining trust of teammates and coaches. San Francisco is searching for a new returner after Ray-Ray McCloud left in free agency this offseason. They brought back veteran Trent Taylor for his reliability catching the ball cleanly but would probably prefer having someone with the game-breaking speed of Cowing.
