49ers sign WR Dante Pettis, bringing back former 2018 second-round pick

San Francisco reunites with the veteran receiver as it deals with injuries at the position, adding a familiar face to the wideout room

The 49ers are signing wide receiver Dante Pettis, their former 2018 second-round pick, who now returns to the organization.

San Francisco has been dealing with injuries at wide receiver and is bringing back a familiar face to help shore up the position. Pettis, who spent his first two seasons with the 49ers before moving on, gives the team an experienced option as it manages its receiving corps.

The reunion comes at a time when the 49ers need depth at the position. Pettis' familiarity with the organization and the league should let him step in without a long adjustment period.

For San Francisco, it's a sensible add to a thin position group, bringing back a player who knows the building as the team looks to keep its passing game on track.
