Overview
- Agent Henry Organ confirmed the agreement Monday and said Bourne is ready to play this week when San Francisco visits New Orleans.
- The signing follows a Week 1 win in Seattle in which Jauan Jennings hurt his shoulder and George Kittle exited with a hamstring issue, with both set for MRIs Monday.
- San Francisco entered Week 1 short at receiver with Brandon Aiyuk on PUP, Demarcus Robinson suspended, and rookies such as Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing dealing with injuries.
- Bourne visited the 49ers and Commanders last week and chose an incentive-laden return after waiting until after Week 1 to decide.
- The 30-year-old began his career with the 49ers in 2017 and is expected to integrate quickly due to his prior experience in Shanahan’s offense.
