Returns to practice Cowing (hamstring) returned to a limited practice Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cowing injured his hamstring on the first day of training camp, kicking off a stretch of poor injury luck for San Francisco's wideouts this summer. Ricky Pearsall returned from his own hamstring injury in late July, but Jauan Jennings (calf) and Jordan Watkins (ankle) have since been sidelined, and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) remains on the PUP list. There's also a strong chance Demarcus Robinson will be suspended for the first few games after pleading no contest in July to a DUI charge, potentially opening the door for Cowing to have a September role on offense even if he's ultimately just fifth or sixth on the depth chart. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Cowing caught just four passes on 106 offensive snaps last season, getting most of his touches on punt returns (28 for 245). He won't necessarily reprise that role on special teams, after the 49ers drafted return specialist Junior Bergen in the seventh round this spring.

Brock Purdy's latest milestone: A new addition to the 49ers' family

Hopeful to return in 2-3 weeks San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that he's hopeful Cowing (hamstring) will be back by the week of Aug. 11 for joint practices with the Raiders, David Lombardi of SFSta...

Impact This timeline likely indicates that Cowing will miss the 49ers' first preseason game Aug. 9 as he deals with a pulled hamstring, which he suffered during the first practice of training camp Wednesday. The 2024 fourth-round pick is coming off a rookie season in which he logged just five touches on offense over 15 regular-season appearances. Instead, his primary contributions came as a punt returner. San Francisco is dealing with a rash of injuries at wide receiver, as Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is still on PUP while recovering from a torn ACL, and Jauan Jennings also left practice Sunday with a calf injury. Once he gets back on the field in training camp, Cowing could have a chance to push for a bigger role ahead of Demarcus Robinson and Equanimeous St. Brown -- two veterans who the team added as free agents.

49ers' Tarron Jackson hospitalized after scary training camp injury

Pulls hamstring Cowing pulled his hamstring Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact He was the subject of glowing reports during the offseason program, only to get injured at the first practice of training camp. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Cowing got just five touches on 106 offensive snaps last season, with his main role being on punt returns (28 for 245 yards). This could've been a good chance to get some reps with Brock Purdy, as the 49ers don't have Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) available for the start of camp.

Jacob Cowing 2024 NFL Scouting Combine Workout San Francisco 49ers fourth-round draft pick, Arizona wide receiver Jacob Cowing, runs the 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

FEBRUARY 27, 2025 • 49ERS.COM

Mainly used on ST in rookie year Cowing finished his rookie season with four receptions for 80 yards and one rushing attempt for seven yards across 15 active games.

Impact Cowing was primarily used on special teams in 2024, producing 277 return yards for leagues that factor in that category. The Arizona product flashed some big-play ability as a receiver, averaging 20.0 yards per reception in limited action. Cowing could see more work as a sophomore in 2025, but it would likely take an injury or two in order to open up enough playing time to warrant fantasy consideration next year.

Struggling to find role on offense Cowing returned five punts for 51 yards and went without a target while playing four of the 49ers' 54 snaps on offense in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

Impact The rookie fourth-round pick out of Arizona has been serving as the 49ers' top punt returner throughout the season, but he's struggled to find a role on offense even while Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall have missed multiple games due to injuries. Though Aiyuk is out for the season, Jennings and Pearsall have been healthy for several weeks now and, along with Deebo Samuel, are continuing to work comfortably ahead of Cowing at receiver. Cowing has recorded just two catches for 50 yards on four targets while playing just 39 snaps on offense all season.

Slated to suit up Sunday Cowing (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's Week 13 battle versus the Bills, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports reports.

Impact Cowing suffered a concussion Week 11 against Seattle and didn't suit up this past Sunday versus Green Bay. However, he's cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be able to play against Buffalo. Cowing has been held without a catch in all but one of his nine games so far this season, and his primary contributions have come as a punt returner.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Wednesday Cowing (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Cowing suffered a concussion during the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks, and he was unable to pass the league's five-step protocols in time for Week 12 against the Packers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that he's progressing through the protocols, though he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Bills on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Missing Week 12 Cowing (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Cowing sustained a concussion in the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks and was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The rookie wideout from Arizona has seen minimal offensive work through nine appearances this season, catching two of his three targets for 50 yards across. Expect Ronnie Bell to serve as San Francisco's top punt returner with Cowing sidelined in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Thursday Cowing (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact The punt returner and wide receiver was a limited participant Wednesday after suffering the concussion during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks. Cowing's status is moving in the wrong direction as this week's showdown with the Packers approaches. Ronnie Bell might be in line to return punts if Cowing misses Week 12.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open week Cowing (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Cowing was diagnosed with a concussion during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks after taking a hit to the head during a punt return. He'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to suit up against the Packers on Sunday.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with concussion Cowing (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cowing entered concussion protocols after taking a hit to the head during a punt return in the second quarter. He won't return Sunday, and he'll have to go through the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to play in Week 12 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 24.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Helps fill in for injured starters Cowing caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Cowing saw his usage increase after the 49ers lost both starting wideouts early in the contest. The 2024 fourth-round pick used that opportunity to not only record his first catch as a professional, but he also tied teammate George Kittle for the longest reception of the game (41 yards). Cowing could continue to get work as the team's third or fourth receiver -- depending on the health status of multiple wideouts this week -- when the 49ers host the Cowboys next Sunday.

Considered full participant Monday Cowing (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cowing was able to return to practice late last week, ultimately sitting out the team's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals. The wide receiver was reported to be considered day-to-day to open the week Monday according to Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site. Cowing will look to make his return to the field in Thursday's matchup with the Seahawks.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Thursday Cowing (shoulder) is considered day-to-day as the 49ers begin Week 6 prep Monday,Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Cowing has been considered day-to-day since Sept. 30, after he suffered the injury in Week 4 against the Patriots. The rookie receiver was able to return to practice this past Friday, so he's at least made some progress in that time. Whether or not he'll be able to play in Week 6 likely won't be realized until closer to Thursday night's kickoff.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Cowing (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsay Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Impact Cowing had a chance to suit up after logging a limited practice session Friday, but he'll join Chris Conley (oblique) and Ricky Pearsall (chest) in street clothes. Ronnie Bell and Trent Taylor will serve as depth options behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings versus the Cardinals.

Questionable vs. Arizona Cowing (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Cowing was a DNP in each of the first two practices of the week, but he's given himself a chance to play Sunday after logging a limited session Friday. If he does suit up and Chris Conley (oblique) does not, Cowing would serve as the No. 4 wideout behind Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings.

OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice again Cowing (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Cowing has missed the first two practices of the week after injuring his shoulder in Week 4 against the Patriots. He'll have one more chance to practice in some capacity in order to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Cardinals. Ronnie Bell has a chance at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wideout in Week 5 if both Cowing and Chris Conley (oblique) are unable to play.
