Anybody looking at the 49ers’ depth chart and reading the early updates as they go through OTAs would be forgiven for being concerned about the state of the wide receiver position.
Brandon Aiyuk may not be ready for Week 1, there’s a chance Demarcus Robinson could be suspended for the start of the season and — though his hamstring issue is not considered serious — last year’s first-round pick Ricky Pearsall is already dealing with an injury that is likely to keep him out until training camp.
As such, there is the possibility that the 49ers could open their season against the Seattle Seahawks with Pearsall, Jauan Jennings and one of either Jacob Cowing or rookie Jordan Watkins as their top three receivers.
