49ers WR Jacob Cowing will return to practice this week
Our Summary
The San Francisco 49ers will see the return of wide receiver Jacob Cowing to practice this week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Cowing will begin practicing, activating his 21-day window to return from injured reserve. Cowing, who injured his hamstring during the preseason, was placed on injured reserve following the incident. Drafted in the fourth round in 2024, Cowing contributed four receptions for 80 yards in his rookie season and averaged 8.8 yards on 28 punt returns. His return is timely for the 49ers, who have faced challenges at the receiver position due to injuries to Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Jordan Watkins.
