Niners Wire on MSN49ers place key depth piece on IR to make room for new QB
This is a significant blow to the 49ers' RB room since Taylor had secured a spot as a reliable third or fourth option who contributed on special teams. He posted a career-high 109 yards on 17 carries in San Francisco's Week 18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last season.
The 49ers wisely have some key veterans, most prominently Nick Bosa, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams, on schedules designed to keep them fresh and out of the fray from time to time. Quarterback Brock Purdy is a leader in a more reserved, analytical way. Deommodore Lenoir is stepping up to push the secondary.
Indeed, per Diana Russini of The Athletic, the 49ers are among the teams making calls as they try to acquire another wideout. The Jets are among several teams monitoring the trade market for potential wide receiver additions, per sources. The 49ers and Vikings are also making calls.
Renardo Green and Isaac Guerendo were among those who returned for a practice in which Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall continued to connect.
The New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers are joining the Minnesota Vikings on the lookout for another wide receiver, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
