49ers activate James, place Austin on IR

The San Francisco 49ers got one receiver back healthy and lost another for the long term
SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 • Associated Press
Placed on IR Austin (knee) has officially been placed on IR.
Impact Austin thus joins fellow receivers Jalen Hurd and J.J. Nelson on the 49ers' IR list. On the plus side, the team welcomed Richie James back from the NFI list earlier Thursday.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Headed to IR The 49ers plan to place Austin (knee) on IR, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The move should officially hit the transaction wire either later Thursday, or as the team continues to make roster moves in advance of cut-down weekend. With that, the depth of the 49ers' pass-catching corps takes another hit and it wouldn't surprise us to see the team look into other options shortly, as league-wide roster trimming occurs.

Officially signs with San Fran Austin signed a contract with the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Looking to improve the team's wide receiver depth with Deebo Samuel slated to miss all of training camp with a foot injury, the Niners worked out both Austin and J.J. Nelson earlier in the week, adding two potentially terrifying speed options to the back end of the roster. That speed could be uniquely utilized in sub packages as part of Kyle Shanahan's offensive scheme, which often utilizes wide receiver motion on jet sweeps and designated screens. With Travis Benjamin, who likely was slated to occupy the same type of role for the Niners, opting out of the season, it's entirely possible one, or both, of the Austin/Nelson combo makes the team, even if it's just as a return specialist.
