News

  • No injury designation

    Pettis (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Pettis was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday due to an illness, but he practiced in a full capacity Friday and is good to go for Week 13. Over the last four games, he's secured three of four targets for 33 yards while rushing once for eight yards.

  • Still sitting out practice

    Pettis (illness) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Pettis has now missed both of the Bears' first two practices and will now have one more chance Friday to potentially move past the illness and get in some on-field reps before Sunday's game against the Packers. If Pettis fails to practice Friday, he'll likely carry a designation into the weekend, if he isn't ruled out for the contest entirely.

  • Sits out practice with illness

    Pettis didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

    Analysis: Pettis will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before the Bears decide whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. While working with second-string quarterback Trevor Siemian -- who sat out Wednesday's practice with an oblique injury -- in the Bears' Week 12 loss to the Jets, Pettis played 22 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for 12 yards on two targets. Pettis and the Chicago offense could get Justin Fields (shoulder) back from…read more

  • Targeted twice in defeat

    Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pettis has surpassed 18 yards once over his last 11 games, and he's been targeted just four times over his last four games. Unless he sees an increase in targets, he'll continue to have a low weekly scoring floor.

  • Handles two touches in defeat

    Pettis caught one pass for nine yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pettis has exactly one target in three of Chicago's last four games, and he hasn't surpassed 18 scrimmage yards in any of his last three contests. With 125 receiving yards since Week 2, his lack of upside compared to his low-scoring floor makes him hard to rely on when setting fantasy lineups.

  • Targeted once in defeat

    Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: After being targeted 13 times over Chicago's last three games, the team acquired Chase Claypool, and Pettis was barely involved in the offense against Miami. Even when Pettis was seeing targets, he had been held to fewer than three yards in five of eight games. It'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups as long as he's outside the Bears' top-two receivers in a low-volume passing attack.

  • Ties for team lead in targets

    Pettis caught four passes on five targets for 18 yards In the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: Pettis is averaging 22 yards per game, but he's had between zero and two yards in five of eight games. His low scoring floor makes him a risky option when setting weekly fantasy lineups.

  • Slight usage in victory

    Pettis caught one pass for two yards while adding a 29-yard run in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.

    Analysis: Coming off an 84-yard performance against Washington, Pettis was a minor part of the offense against the Patriots. He's posted two or fewer receiving yards in five of his last six games, and he won't be a reliable fantasy option unless his role in the offense becomes more consistent.

  • Makes highlight-reel catch in loss

    Pettis secured four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Pettis made the Bears' only touchdown of the night memorable with a pretty over-the-shoulder 40-yard catch midway through the third quarter. The 26-year-old led the team in receiving yards as well while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets. Pettis hadn't recorded any statistics over 93 snaps and 51 routes run since scoring a 51-yard touchdown on his only catch in Week 1, so it remains to be seen if Thursday's semi-breakout effort has any carryover into a Week 7 Monday night road…read more

  • Blanked in defeat

    Pettis failed to catch either of his two targets in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Aside from a TD he scored on a busted coverage in Week 1, Pettis has yet to post another reception in the four games since. Although he's been targeted multiple times in the last two games, his lack of production makes him tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Posts no stats in loss

    Pettis failed to catch any of his three targets in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Aside from a 51-yard touchdown in Week 1 on a broken play, Pettis has failed to catch another pass this season. Unless his role changes, and the Bears begin throwing the football more, Pettis is unlikely to collect many receptions.

  • Runs wind sprints in Week 3 win

    Pettis went without a target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Since turning his lone target in the Bears' Week 1 win over the 49ers into a 51-yard touchdown reception, Pettis has now gone without a look in the passing game for two straight games. His lack of involvement isn't due to a lack of snaps, as he's handled 56 percent shares in both of the last two weeks as the No. 3 wideout behind Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown. Mooney and St. Brown have combined for just eight catches themselves through three games, and until the Bears are willing to…read more

  • Shifted back to IR

    Pettis (shoulder) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and returned to injured reserve.

    Analysis: The wide receiver was moved to the COVID list Jan. 1, forcing him to be away from the Giants' facilities as he worked his way through league protocols. Pettis will now be able to keep rehabbing his shoulder injury with his sights set on a return for the 2022 campaign.

    Pettis (shoulder) shifted to the reserve/COVID-19 list from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Pettis has already been ruled out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. He'll return to IR once he clears the league's health and safety protocols.

  • Out for season

    Pettis, who was placed on injured reserve Friday, will miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis played in just three games with the Giants this season, recording 10 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown primarily as a depth fill-in with a number of starters out due to injury. the 26-year-old has played in just 10 games since the start of last season and has yet to play a full 16 games in any season since being drafted back in 2018.

  • Heads to IR

    The Giants placed Pettis (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pettis suffered a left shoulder injury during Monday's loss to the Chiefs, and he will now have to miss a minimum of three weeks while on IR. If the likes of Kadarius Toney (thumb), Kenny Golladay (knee) and/or Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) are healthy by the time Pettis is able to return, he could see his role on offense significantly reduced.

  • Not practicing again

    Pettis (shoulder) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Giants listed Pettis as a non-participant on their official Week 9 report for the second straight day, after he sustained a left shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Chiefs. The lack of practice reps this week seemingly put Pettis' availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders in peril, but the Giants will see what he's able to do at Friday's session before gauging where he stands heading into the weekend. If active Sunday, Pettis could have the chance to fill a key role in the…read more

  • Hurt on muffed punt

    Pettis (shoulder) was forced out of Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pettis was injured during the first half of Monday's loss while attempting to recover his own mishandled punt return. The severity of the 2018 second-round pick's injury remains undisclosed at this time. Heading into Week 8, Pettis had put together back-to-back games with five receptions.

  • Reaches end zone

    Pettis recorded five receptions on five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers. He also completed a 16-yard pass to quarterback Daniel Jones on a trick play.

    Analysis: Pettis was elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week and has delivered five receptions on each occasion. In Sunday's victory, Pettis recorded a five-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter to put the Giants up 15-3. He also tallied a long reception of 27 yards, which helped set up a 49-yard field goal during the team's first drive of the second quarter. It's unclear what role Pettis may be able to maintain once the Giants' receiving corps gets healthier, though…read more

  • Promoted to active roster

    Pettis was signed to the Giants' active roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Michael Elsen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was a gameday elevation from the practice squad for Sunday's loss to the Rams, but he'll now join the active roster in a longer-term capacity after C.J. Board suffered a broken arm. Pettis caught five of 11 targets for 48 yards during his season debut and could continue seeing a similar role until one or more of Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) or Darius Slayton (hamstring) are able to return.

  • Back to practice squad

    Pettis reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

    Analysis: Pettis reverting to the practice squad is an automatic transaction after he was elevated for Sunday's loss to the Rams. Versus Los Angeles, Pettis secured five of 11 targets for 48 yards, benefiting from increased volume due to the team's normal starting wideouts. He also recorded one tackle when a pass intended for him was intercepted.

  • Boost in volume due to absences

    Pettis brought in five of 11 targets for 48 yards in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both inactive and Kadarius Toney (ankle) eventually joining them on the sideline Sunday, Pettis was called upon for his most extensive action since his rookie 2018 season in San Francisco. Pettis wasn't exactly efficient with his targets, but considering Daniel Jones was under duress throughout the afternoon, the receiver's totals were serviceable. Despite the solid performance, Pettis could well be back on the practice squad within days…read more

  • Elevated from practice squad

    Pettis was elevated from the Giants' practice squad Saturday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Pettis is being promoted to the Giants' game day roster in order to provide roster insurance for fellow wideout Darius Slayton, who is questionable for Week 6 with a hamstring injury. The Giants have been ravished by injuries to their offense, and Kenny Golladay is the latest to be ruled out after hyperextending his knee in Week 5. On a positive note, Kadarius Toney (ankle, questionable) is expected to play, and Sterling Shepard is also making his return from a hamstring injury. Even if Darius…read more

    Pettis was waived by the Giants on Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Pettis finished last season on New York's active roster but was unable to retain his spot for 2021. The 2018 second-round pick could end up on the practice squad if he's unable to latch on elsewhere.

  • Scores TD in finale

    Pettis caught two passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' regular-season finale.

    Analysis: Actually, one of the catches was a trap that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy failed to challenge, but who's counting? In any event, the 2018 second-round pick is still only 25 and should get another chance to carve out a role somewhere.

  • Reels in two passes in debut

    Pettis caught two of three targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Pettis finally made his Giants debut and finished third among the team's wide receivers by playing 29 of 64 offensive snaps. The 2018 second-round pick for the 49ers will look to build on this performance against a soft Dallas defense in Week 17.

    Pettis will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis will sit out for the second game in a row and he has yet to make his Giants debut since being claimed off waivers via San Francisco. Austin Mack and C.J. Board are expected to continue to serve as the reserve receiving options for Week 14 sans Pettis.

    Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 tilt against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The young journeyman was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, but his Giants debut will have to wait at least another week. Austin Mack and C.J. Board will continue to serve as the reserve wideout options behind the top trio of Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and Golden Tate against Seattle.

  • Activated from COVID list

    The Giants activated Pettis from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Pettis' team debut has been put on hold because of his stint on the reserve list. It appears he'll finally suit up for the Giants in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, a meeting between division leaders. It's unclear how much of an impact Pettis will have on offense with the starting wide receiver jobs locked down by Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and Golden Tate. Pettis could contribute as a returner immediately.

  • Should return soon

    Pettis (illness) is expected to "ramp up" his activity and return from the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Pettis is eligible to be activated from the reserve list, so his Giants debut could come this Sunday against the Seahawks. It appears he's cleared the necessary protocols, and the Giants simply want to see if his conditioning is up to par. Fantasy managers should stay away, as the 2018 second-round pick has enjoyed limited offensive success and could be catching passes from Colt McCoy once he eventually takes the field.

  • Team debut pushed back

    Pettis (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the coronavirus Nov. 20. Even after the Giants were on bye Week 11, the wideout apparently won't have enough time to clear all health-related protocols prior to the Week 12 contest. A 2018 second-round pick of the 49ers, Pettis still has yet to suit up for the Giants since being claimed off waivers in early November.

    The Giants will place Pettis on the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though Pettis positive test comes during the Giants' bye week, he'll still likely have a tough time clearing all COVID-19-related protocols ahead of the team's next game Nov. 29 versus the Bengals. The ex-49ers wideout is still looking to make his Giants debut.

    Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pettis has been with the team for nearly two weeks, but his Giants debut will be put on hold once again. According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger, the 2018 second-round pick is expected to suit up for the Giants following the Week 11 bye. Austin Mack and C.J. Board should get more work as depth wideouts for the time being.

  • Joins active roster

    Pettis was activated from the commissioner's exempt list Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Giants claimed the 25-year-old off waivers from the 49ers last week, but the team utilized a roster exemption with him unavailable for Week 9 due to the COVID-19 protocols when joining a new team. Pettis played 45 offensive snaps in the season opener but saw minimal playing time in the subsequent games and is without a catch this season. The 2018 second-round pick likely will open as a depth wideout for New York, but he could immediately contribute in the return game.

  • Won't play Week 9

    Pettis (shoulder), whom the Giants claimed off waivers Wednesday, won't be eligible to play in Sunday's game at Washington while he waits to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: All players moving from one organization to another must self-isolate for five days before reporting to work with their new clubs, so Pettis won't have enough time to get settled in with the Giants before Sunday's game. Pettis should be ready to join the Giants when the team begins Week 10 prep, and he'll likely have a clearer path to playing time in New York than he did in San Francisco. While Pettis likely won't be much more than a depth option at receiver so long as Darius Slayton, Sterling…read more

  • Scooped off waivers

    The Giants claimed Pettis (shoulder) off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday, Michael Eisen of New York's official site reports.

    Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick was cut loose by the 49ers on Tuesday after the team was unable to find a trade partner prior to the deadline. Though Pettis' first two seasons with San Francisco were promising -- he recorded 38 receptions, 576 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during that time -- his standing in the organization had soured over the past two years. The move to New York will provide a much-needed fresh start for Pettis, who will likely slot in as the Giants' No. 4 wide receiver…read more

  • Waived by San Fran

    Pettis (shoulder) was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The team attempted to work out a trade prior to Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline but was unable to reach a deal. Pettis, a 2018 second-round pick, had 27 receptions for 467 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie, but he had only 11 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns over the past two seasons. The 25-year-old has played only 66 offensive snaps in 2020 and is currently dealing with a shoulder injury. Pettis seems likely to garner some interest on the waiver wire.

  • Estimated as non-participant

    Pettis (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old picked up the shoulder injury during the second half of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, so it's not a major surprising to see him labeled as a DNP. Pettis' ability to practice the next two days will provide a better idea of his availability for Thursday's contest versus Green Bay.

    Pettis (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pettis suffered his shoulder injury in the second half, when he was brought down hard and fumbled while returning a kickoff. If Pettis can't return, River Cracraft will be the 49ers' only healthy wideout behind Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne and Trent Taylor.

    Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick will be on the sideline for the third straight contest. Coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier in the week the team made and fielded calls about potentially trading Pettis, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, so it's not a major surprise to see him a healthy scratch. Richie James will serve as the depth wideout Sunday behind the usual contributors.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was dealing with a knee injury earlier in the week, but he avoided an injury designation and is now a healthy scratch for Week 5. Pettis has been targeted once through four games and didn't play an offensive snap during last week's loss to the Eagles.

  • Back at practice

    Pettis (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pettis suffered the knee injury in Week 4, but as evidenced by this news, the issue isn't serious enough to force him to miss game action. Now that Pettis appears fully healthy, look for him to assume his usual depth role, one that has rendered him a fantasy non-factor thus far this season.

  • Back at practice Wednesday

    Pettis (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis suffered the knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, but the good news was he didn't aggravate the issue. The depth of the receiving room could be tested heading into Week 5's game against the Dolphins, as Trent Taylor (ankle) was also limited in Wednesday's practice. Expect Thursday's practice to shed some light on both guys' injury status.

  • Should practice Wednesday

    Pettis is expected to be at practice Wednesday after suffering a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old returned to the field after leaving the game with the injury, and it appears he didn't further aggravate the issue. Pettis returned one punt for six yards and didn't play an offensive snap during the contest.

  • Remains a non-factor

    Pettis played just eight snaps and did not receive a target in Sunday's 36-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Pettis was unable to get on the field on offense despite the 49ers running a bit thin at wide receiver. The third-year wideout showed significant attitude and work ethic improvements during training camp, but it hasn't translated to snaps in the regular season. With just one target through three games, Pettis should be left on the waiver wire until his situation improves.

  • No catches in loss

    Pettis was unable to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 24-20 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: So much for getting out of head coach Kyle Shanahan's doghouse during training camp. The sophomore was unable to make anything happen offensively, even with Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) sitting this one out. Jimmy Garoppolo looked to his tight ends and running backs early and often, which might be a trend going forward this year. Even if Pettis earns another "start" next week against the Jets, it's hard to get excited after a dud like Sunday's.

    The 49ers kept Pettis on their 53-man roster heading into the 2020 regular season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: After a woeful sophomore campaign, Pettis has begun his comeback tour with a strong camp and a spot on the active roster. The 2018 second-round pick has drawn praise from San Francisco's coaching staff for his renewed attitude and work ethic.

  • Strong bet for 53-man roster

    Pettis' spot on the 49ers' regular-season roster appears to be safe heading into Saturday's upcoming cuts, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pettis' situation in San Francisco was looking bleak after a poor sophomore campaign led to the wideout being left off the active roster for the Super Bowl. Injuries have decimated the 49ers' receiver depth chart during training camp, but the 24-year-old has also improved his standing in the organization heading into the 2020 campaign. Pettis started by mending a rocky relationship with head coach Kyle Shanahan that stemmed from a failed "tough love" experiment in 2019. He has reportedly had an…read more

    Pettis and head coach Kyle Shanahan have cleared the air between them and will begin the season with a clean slate, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Pettis entered the 2019 season with high expectations after a late breakout at the end of his rookie campaign, but he received criticism from his head coach after getting off to a slow start during training camp. The then 23-year-old responded negatively to the motivation attempts, finishing with just 109 yards and two scores over 11 games, and he even was left as a healthy scratch during the Super Bowl. Pettis has reportedly come into his third year as a pro with a new mindset, patching the…read more

  • Getting chance to shine

    Pettis has an opportunity to step up in a 49ers receiving corps dealing with a number of injuries and one player opting out, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: No. 1 wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) is recovering from a Jones fracture that leaves his availability for Week 1 in question, while Richie James (wrist) is on the active/non-football injury list, Jalen Hurd may have suffered a torn ACL, and Travis Benjamin decided not to play this season. Pettis has yet to live up to his standing as a 2018 second-round pick, following up a 27-467-5 line as a rookie with just 11 catches, 109 yards and two touchdowns in 2019. After not suiting up beyond Week…read more

    Pettis may need to compete for a roster spot, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Unable to build on a successful finish to his rookie campaign, the 2018 second-round pick was limited to 11 catches in 11 games last season and didn't play a single snap in the playoffs. Coach Kyle Shanahan said he wants to see Pettis look like he's on a mission this offseason, but the selection of fellow wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk in the first round suggests the Niners aren't counting on much. With Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne considered roster locks, the 49ers figure to have a…read more

  • Facing crucial offseason

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said he wants to see Pettis "on a mission" this offseason, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Unable to build on a strong finish to his rookie campaign, Pettis was limited to 11 receptions and 313 offensive snaps in 2019, eventually serving as a healthy scratch on gamedays. Shanahan said the lack of playing time was based on an accumulation of factors, including a lack of intensity while running routes. Shanahan also hinted that the upcoming offseason could be a make-or-break one for Pettis' career, noting that he's seen some players "filter out" when they struggle to rebound from a…read more

  • Healthy scratch for Super Bowl

    Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Super Bowl against Kansas City, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Pettis has had a dramatic fall from grace with the 49ers throughout his sophomore season, making his inactive status for Super Bowl LIV a fitting end to the 2019 campaign. Though the second-year wideout was active for the NFC Championship Game against the Packers, he didn't play any snaps during the contest.

  • Practices in full Friday

    Pettis (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis brushed off the illness that sidelined him Thursday, or at the very least was able to gut it out and fit in every practice rep to wrap up the first week of Super Bowl prep. Considering he hasn't seen a target since Week 10, though, he's unlikely to make a splash versus the Chiefs on Feb. 2.

  • Returns from illness

    Pettis (illness) returned to practice Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Pettis only missed one day and should be healthy with plenty of time to spare before the Super Bowl. He was technically active for the NFC Championship Game, but he didn't actually play any snaps in a 37-20 win over the Packers. Any involvement in the Super Bowl would come as a modest surprise.

  • Under the weather

    Pettis did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis will have a week and a half to return to full health ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, so there's not yet any reason to consider his availability in jeopardy. More pressingly, the second-year wideout has not recorded a snap on offense since Week 12 of the regular season. Having tumbled down to a depth role in San Francisco's receiver corps, Pettis will be an unlikely candidate to factor into the team's plans on offense even if he's at full strength.

  • Falls completely out of favor

    Pettis finished with 11 receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games during the regular season.

    Analysis: Pettis was the biggest disappointment for a 49ers squad that surged to the top of the NFC in 2019. The 23-year-old appeared to be turning into a fantasy factor over the final four weeks of the 2018 season, but he failed to build off of the momentum and seize a potential starting opportunity. Coach Kyle Shanahan questioned the sophomore's effort during training camp, and his statements rang true when the former second-round pick quickly lost his starting job and even return duties to less-proven…read more

    Pettis (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Pettis has been sidelined by a knee injury for two consecutive games, but he appears on pace to be available for the 49ers' Week 15 tilt against the Falcons. Pettis has played no more than 33 offensive snaps in a single contest since Week 7, however, so don't expect a sudden burst in production upon his return.

  • Sitting out Week 14

    Pettis (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers will be down two receivers in Pettis and Marquise Goodwin (knee/foot) in Week 14, but both players have been afterthoughts in coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive game plan of late. Even if Pettis shakes off the sprained knee in time for the Week 15 game against the Falcons, he likely won't be in line for more than a handful of snaps.

    Pettis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis sat out Week 13's loss to the Ravens due to a lingering knee issue, and his status for Sunday's tilt against the Saints could come down to a game-time decision. The second-year pro plays a depth role in San Francisco's receiving corps. He hasn't seen more than three targets in a single game since Week 6.

    Analysis: Pettis missed the team's Week 13 contest against the Raiders and is expected to miss a second consecutive game in Week 14. However, he practiced on a side field Wednesday and upgraded that to limited participation Thursday. That said, even if he is ruled out for Sunday's contest, he is trending in the right direction.

    Pettis (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Although Pettis was spotted working out on a side field, his participation wasn't enough to be marked as limited. The second-year wideout isn't expected to suit up Sunday against the Saints, so Marquise Goodwin and Richie James could see slight upticks in usage.

    Pettis (knee) practiced on a side field Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Pettis isn't expected to play Sunday against the Saints, and his inability to practice with the team aligns with that notion. The second-year pro likely won't have much responsibility when he returns to action, as Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne are expected to lead the way.

    Pettis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Pettis is believed to have suffered a knee sprain during Wednesday's practice, adding one more obstacle to a disappointing season. His absence won't have much impact on the 49ers' Week 13 game plan, as he played just nine snaps on offense the past two weeks.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Pettis is believed to have sprained his left knee during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The injury forced Pettis' early departure in Wednesday's practice and kept him sidelined Thursday, but after he recently underwent an evaluation, the 49ers determined the wideout wasn't dealing with a long-term concern. In any case, Pettis' status for Sunday's game against the Ravens has yet to be determined, but he shouldn't be expected to have a major role on offense even if he gains clearance for the contest. Pettis has logged just seven offensive snaps across the past two games.

Nothing more is known about the nature or severity of Pettis' health concern, meaning his status will continue to be monitored as the weekend draws closer.

  • Active, but not used

    Pettis was on the field for just seven snaps and went without a target in Sunday's 37-8 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Seven snaps is an upgrade from the zero Pettis received last week against Arizona, but it has become apparent that the team no longer views him as part of the offensive gameplan. Barring an unforeseen change or injury to another wideout, the second-year man should be left on the wire heading into Week 13.

  • Playing Week 11

    Pettis (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Available for all 10 of the 49ers games this season, Pettis hasn't made much of an impact when on the field in the previous nine, posting an 11-109-2 line on 24 targets. Top wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) is banged up at the moment, but Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne (and not Pettis) profited when the veteran was knocked out of the team's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. As a result, Pettis may be relegated to a situational role yet again on this game day.

    Pettis (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pettis arguably has a bit more intrigue with Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) also listed as questionable, but recent comments from coach Kyle Shanahan don't bode well for the second-year pro. The 49ers used Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne ahead of Pettis after Sanders suffered the rib injury during Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle. It'll be interesting to see the 49ers' inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, as they have five players listed as out or doubtful and a…read more

    Pettis (back) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

  • Limited by back injury

    Pettis was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury.

    Analysis: Pettis is coming off an uneventful performance in Monday's loss to the Seahawks, during which he went without a catch on three targets. He apparently picked up an injury along the way, adding another complication as he prepares for a Week 11 matchup with the Cardinals. The 24-year-old has been minimally involved in the offense over the last three games, so even if he's available this week, he shouldn't garner much fantasy interest.

  • No catches Monday

    Pettis was targeted three times but did not record a catch in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne were given opportunities to shine after Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) left the contest early. Pettis was out there for a few routes (38 percent of snaps), but he was unable to establish any sort of rapport with Jimmy Garoppolo, as has been the case all season. It has been a harsh fall from grace for the 2018 second-round pick, and even if Sanders is unable to go next week, Pettis would not be worth considering in fantasy.

    Pettis caught his lone target for 21 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Pettis was removed from his starting role last week against the Panthers, and he retained the decreased role (30 percent of offensive snaps Thursday) behind rookie Deebo Samuel against Arizona. The second-year receiver has really seen his stock plummet after posting WR1 numbers over the final quarter of the 2018 season. With the trade deadline passed, Pettis will continue to serve a backup role (eliminating nearly all of his fantasy value) heading into another divisional matchup against the…read more
