In this episode of 49ers Overreactions, NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco breaks down San Francisco’s wide receiver room and what improvements need to be made before next season.

Former 49ers cornerback Ambry Thomas doesn't have a new home after all.

The Indianapolis Colts, who claimed Thomas off waivers Wednesday, failed the 2021 third-round draft pick on his physical, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Thomas fractured his forearm during the 49ers' preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 10 and had been on injured reserve until San Francisco waived him on Tuesday.

Per Schefter, the 49ers cleared Thomas over a month ago, though they never opened his practice window.

Thomas' agent Drew Rosenhaus seems perplexed that the Colts would fail the 25-year-old's physical.

"Ambry feels good and is ready to play," Rosenhaus told Schefter. "My prediction is he will pass his next physical."
