Tuesdays are usually quiet as far as news from the San Francisco 49ers is concerned. The players have the rest day and focus on the following rival, in this case the New Orleans Saints. But today there were several very important movements on the San Francisco squad. Good and bad news. An old acquaintance returns to the team and one of his greatest stars will be out of injury for several weeks.
Let’s start with the good news. This Tuesday the 49ers announced that they have hired the open receiver Kendrick Bourne for one year. They will remember that Bourne was already a member of the 49ers in the past. He originally arrived at the team hired as a free not recruited agent in the Draft in 2017. He was in the 49ers from that season until 2020. From 2021 to 2024 he went to play with the New England Patriots. He played at the University of Eastern Washington from 2013 until 2016. Combining his years in the 49ers and Patriots, Bourne adds eight experiences of experience in the NFL. During that time it has appeared in 111 matches, being the holder in 34 of these. He has registered 292 receptions for 3,714 yards and 22 touchdowns in his professional career. By land, it has sometimes been used by registering 20 carrying for 174 yards. Kendrick also has experience in the postseason. It has appeared in four playoff games managing to register 13 receptions for 165 yards and three touchdowns. Also in postseason it had a haul for 14 yards. Today he returns to San Francisco and his experience in the League, talent and knowledge of the offensive of the 49ers, they can be of great help.
To open space on the squad, the bad news that the team announced was that they have placed its closed -wing star, George Kittle, in the list of injured reservations. Kittle injured the Corva’s tendon during the game against the Seattle Seahawks. When being placed to go, this guarantees that Kittle at least will miss the next four weeks where San Francisco will face the Saints in week 2, the cardinals in week 3, to the Jaguars in week 4 and the Rams in week 5. George started the season scoring a touchdown in Seattle after catching that five yard pass that Brock Purdy threw He hurt and could no longer play the rest of the game. Kittle registered in week 1 four receptions, including the score, for a total of 25 yards.
In another movement, the 49ers announced on Tuesday that they have sent the kicking Jake Moody to Waivers. He was recruited by the 49ers of the University of Michigan during the third round of the NFL Draft 2023. Moody appeared in 32 games with San Francisco where he scored 46 of 62 attempts at the field goal, giving him a 74.2% effectiveness. In the postseason he played in three games and scored six of eight field goals, producing an effectiveness in playoffs of 75%.
Finally, the 49ers announced that they have released from their practices squad to the open receiver Robbie Chosen. He was originally hired for the San Francisco Practices squad on August 27 of this year.
