A move like that would happen if the 49ers felt like Jordan Watkins\u2019 high-ankle sprain would last longer than they initially thought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Per the transaction wire, the 49ers had tryouts with four wideouts Tuesday afternoon, and none of them are to be confused with a player of Cooper\u2019s status:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jalen Camp<br \/>Frank Darby<br \/>Kwamie Lassiter<br \/>Malik Turner<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Turner has multiple stints with the 49ers. He was on the practice squad in 2022 and 2025. Turner spent 2025 in the UFL with the Michigan Panthers, where he was ninth in the league in receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Lassiter, an undrafted free agent from Kansas in 2022, spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals in \u201822 and 2023. He has one career NFL reception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Darby is another player who should sound familiar. He was a sixth-round draft pick by the Atlanta Falcons and was on the Niners\u2019 practice squad as recently as last season. Darby was also in the UFL in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Camp was a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The 6\u20192, 220-pound receiver appeared in five games with the Houston Texans from 2021 to 2022, but has not registered a statistic since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Judging by the names, the 49ers are entertaining, Watkins\u2019 injury isn\u2019t severe, and the team is happy with its depth\/core at receiver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn\u2019t sound like somebody looking to spend big on a veteran&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":142195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,77192,42062,64272,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-142194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-roster","10":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-depth-chart","11":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-injuries","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115021106600310296","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
