Jacob Cowing aims for first punt return touchdown in over a decade for 49ers

As training camp progresses, Jacob Cowing seeks to secure a spot on the San Francisco 49ers' roster while targeting a significant personal goal. Cowing aims to be the first 49ers player to return a punt for a touchdown since Ted Ginn Jr. accomplished the feat in 2011. He has been focusing on special teams and tracking the ball, particularly after missing the 2025 season due to injury. The departure of Skyy Moore has opened the punt return role, creating an opportunity for Cowing to make a meaningful impact on the team. His performance in the upcoming preseason may determine his chances of securing a roster spot.
