DANTE PETTIS NEWS

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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, essentially a non-factor from a fantasy perspective.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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. The 24-year-old figures to handle punt return duties -- a skill he excelled at in college -- but he could be in line for an expanded role on offense if projected starters Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) aren't able to suit up Sunday against Arizona. Even in that scenario, it would be tough to recommend relying on Pettis out of the gates with an unknown target share on a run-heavy offense that boasts star tight end George Kittle as Jimmy Garoppolo's top target. That said, Pettis was once considered a high-upside asset, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see his stock rise as the season progresses.

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.

Impact 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 impressive camp showing as well. Pettis could end up surprising doubters with a renewed positive outlook and potential for a key role on offense -- if Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) aren't ready by Week 1 -- to begin the season.

Mends relationship with coach 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.

Impact 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 was even 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 relationship between he and Shanahan in the process. With three receivers already ruled out for Week 1 and starter Deebo Samuel (foot) uncertain, the stars may align for Pettis to finally experience the breakout some had hoped he would undergo last year.
