Brandin Cooks Signed to 49ers Practice Squad Amid Injury Crisis

The San Francisco 49ers signed veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks to their practice squad to reinforce a heavily depleted receiving corps. Entering his 13th NFL season, Cooks needs just 189 yards to reach 10,000 career receiving yards. He joins the team as they manage injuries to Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson, Ricky Pearsall, Christian Kirk, and De'Zhaun Stribling. Cooks will get conditioned before potentially being activated to the main roster to provide crucial depth.
