Dante Pettis returns to 49ers after multiple team changes
Summary

Dante Pettis has re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers, the team that drafted him in 2018. This move comes as the 49ers deal with injuries to several wide receivers, including Mike Evans, who is day-to-day after a recent chest injury. Pettis, who previously played for the 49ers from 2018 to 2020, has not seen game action since 2022. After stints with the New York Giants, Chicago Bears, and New Orleans Saints, he briefly joined the Buffalo Bills during the 2026 preseason but did not make the roster. His return to the 49ers could provide much-needed depth at the receiver position.
