Story summary

On Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers held tryouts for nine players including wide receivers Brenden Rice, Dante Pettis, Brady Body, Quentin Skinner, and Malik Turner. Rice, son of franchise legend Jerry Rice, was drafted by the Chargers in 2024 but has not played an NFL game due to roster cuts and brief stints with other teams like the Patriots, Seahawks, Raiders, and Packers. Pettis, a former second-round pick from 2018, is now signing back with the 49ers at age 31 to bolster their injury-stricken wide receiver corps. The team cut defensive end Vincent Anthony Jr., opening up practice squad space that could accommodate one of these tryout players.
