49ers Sign Dante Pettis to Practice Squad

Pettis, 30, was one of nine players to work out for the team on Tuesday. The move comes as the 49ers deal with injuries to their wide receivers, including Ricky Pearsall (out for season), Christian Kirk (on injured reserve), and De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson (missing time). rouesnews.click

The 49ers originally drafted Pettis in the second round in 2018. He had 467 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie but was waived during the 2020 season. Pettis has since played for the Giants, Bears, and Saints, catching nine passes for 127 yards in eight games with New Orleans last season.
