Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the second-year wideout will resume on-field work this week with his practice window activated.
- Shanahan said Cowing is slated to practice Wednesday after missing the entire regular season with a preseason hamstring injury.
- A 2024 fourth-round pick, Cowing recorded four receptions for 80 yards as a rookie and averaged 8.8 yards on 28 punt returns.
- Receiver depth remains a concern for the 49ers, with Brandon Aiyuk out for the season and Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and Jordan Watkins having missed time.
- Skyy Moore has handled punt returns effectively as a Pro Bowl alternate, which could complicate Cowing’s path to an active roster spot.
