49ers may have to survive without WR help after latest report

The San Francisco 49ers are short wide receivers.

A former receiver who gained notoriety with the Niners early in his career just became available.

And both parties were interested in the other.

Already without star wideout Brandon Aiyuk for at least the first four weeks of the season while he recovers from last year's ACL and MCL tears, as well as more uncertainty surrounding fellow wide receiver Jauan Jennings, San Francisco's dire situation at the position doesn't appear to be improving anytime soon.

Except a potential gift in former 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne just got dropped into general manager John Lynch's lap in the wake of the New England Patriots releasing the veteran.
