As the NFL season starts, the San Francisco 49ers deal with many issues in the wide receiver corps. They are dealing with injuries and a suspension in this receiving corps, so they grabbed Kendrick Bourne on a one-year deal worth $5 million to help the depth there. The 49ers are desperate for wide receiver help amid their issues, and bringing Bourne in is a massive help.
Bourne's signing coincided with the 49ers' releasing Robbie Chosen from the practice squad , which allowed everything to work. Jauan Jennings' injury started this domino effect after he hurt his left shoulder this past Sunday in Seattle. Bourne's signing also reunites him with where he began his NFL career in 2017. The decision to release Robbie Chosen made the most sense in making room for him.
