The San Francisco 49ers re-signed punter Thomas Morstead to a one-year deal. If you were hoping the 49ers would go into the season without a punter, we’re sorry to disappoint you.
Morstead didn’t exactly light it up in the preseason. He had 12 punts with a net average of 38.3 yards. It’s clear that he’s the Niners guy this season after special teams coordinator Brant Boyer brought him over. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Morstead to see how much different he is from Mitch Wishnowsky.
Wide receiver Jacob Cowing is headed to the Injured Reserve list. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected Cowing to miss around a month and a half. We’ll see if Cowing’s injury is more severe than that or if he’ll return on schedule.
Cowing was an offseason all-star. Shanahan had rave reviews about him and went as far as to say Cowing had improved as much as anybody on the roster. Hopefully, the 49ers can see Cowing on the field in 2025.
