The San Francisco 49ers have signed veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks to their practice squad to address a significant injury crisis in their receiving corps. Cooks, a 12-year NFL veteran entering his 13th season, is currently just 189 yards shy of reaching 10,000 career receiving yards. The move follows several injuries to key players, including Ricky Pearsall, who is out for the season, and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling, who is expected to miss approximately two months.
