The 49ers on Friday released their final injury report before Sunday's game vs. the New Orleans Saints, and once again they will be thin at wide receiver.
With Deebo Samuel out, Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne, who has been activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list, will be counted on to handle most of the receiving duties. The 49ers could be even thinner if Trent Taylor or River Cracraft, both listed as questionable, cannot play.
