NBC’s Matt Maiocco reports WR Jalen Hurd could be inactive in Week 1 against the Lions.
Hurd could be the odd man out among Niners wideouts next Sunday. Hurd has looked good in practice and the preseason, but the 49ers might opt to take it slow with him. Hurd has missed the past two seasons with injuries and has yet to play a single regular season snap. WR Jauan Jennings could potentially be the fifth wide receiver to suit up against Detroit, per Maiocco. Outside George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Deebo Samuel, it’s unlikely auxiliary 49ers pass catchers will carry any fantasy value this season.
