The San Francisco 49ers held a tryout for several wide receivers on September 29, 2026, including Dante Pettis. The 49ers are dealing with significant injuries at the position, with Ricky Pearsall, De'Zhaun Stribling, Christian Kirk, and Demarcus Robinson all on injured reserve. Mike Evans, while on the roster, also faces an injury concern. Pettis, a former second-round pick for the team in 2018, has struggled since being waived by the 49ers in 2020 but could be a viable option given his familiarity with the team’s system.
