The 49ers are set to reunite with Dante Pettis. San Francisco's second-round pick in the 2018 draft was one of a host of wide receivers who tried out for the team on Tuesday following a rib injury to Mike Evans. And the Niners are giving Pettis a second chance with the team, with Jordan Schultz reporting he will sign back with San Francisco.

Pettis re-signs with 49ers as depth piece following Evans rib injury.

Dante Pettis signed with the 49ers following a tryout on Tuesday, reuniting with the team that drafted him in the second round in 2018. The signing came after a rib injury to Mike Evans created a need for additional wide receiver depth. Pettis showed promise in his rookie season with 467 yards and five touchdowns, including a memorable game-winning touchdown in Week 3 against Pittsburgh, but saw limited opportunities thereafter and was waived in 2020. He has since played for the Giants, Bears, Saints, and Bills. The 49ers are bringing him back for depth despite hoping not to rely on him heavily given their receiver injuries.
