49ers Reuniting Dante Pettis After Failed Tryout

The San Francisco 49ers are set to sign wide receiver Dante Pettis following a tryout that occurred on Tuesday amid significant injuries at the position. Although Pettis previously failed to live up to his early promise in an earlier stint with the team, he will receive another opportunity due to depth needs created by rib and ankle injuries involving players such as Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson, De'Zhaun Stribling, Christian Kirk, and Ricky Pearsall. The 49ers hope Pettis's experience can provide necessary support in their receiver room without becoming a primary reliance.
