NF L waiver wire swirl surrounds San Francisco as the 49ers sign Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year deal and pursue Kendrick Bourne, while weighing Russell Gage’s return after his release. Jauan Jennings’ calf issue clouds Week 1 plans as San Francisco surveys veteran WR avenues. Sebastian Valdez clears waivers and returns to the practice squad, with Evan Anderson out and Jordan Jefferson stepping in on the roster. Robbie Chosen lands on the practice squad alongside Eli Apple, rounding a reshaped WR corps.

Depth at wide receiver suddenly looks crowded, but the 49ers aim to mount Week 1 contributions from multiple veterans who know Kyle Shanahan’s system. The exchange underscores how contending teams value athletic versatility and field-stretching ability, even if roles aren’t crystal clear yet. Fantasy players should monitor how these veterans carve out snaps and target shares as roster moves finalize.

The 49ers are navigating both setbacks and recoveries during training camp. While rookie Piol has returned to practice, receiver Jawan Jennings is sidelined due to a calf injury, and corner Renardo Green will be out for weeks with a hamstring issue. The team signed veteran quarterback Eli Apple as they adjust to these challenges. Additionally, Deodor Lenor made headlines addressing his recent arrest, expressing personal growth and commitment to change. The first padded practice is also generating excitement about the team's performance in physical drills.
