Released from injured reserve
The Bears released Pettis (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Pettis was slated to miss the entire 2023 season but is now eligible to sign and play elsewhere. The 2018 second-round pick will look for another opportunity after catching 19 of 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games for Chicago in 2022.

Lands on IR
The Bears placed Pettis (undisclosed) on injured reserve Friday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bears have not provided any clarity on the nature of Pettis' injury. The 27-year-old pass catcher is now in line to spend the remainder of the 2023 season on the sideline. He recorded 19 receptions on 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns for Chicago in 2022.

Ready to return
Pettis (undisclosed) was activated from the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.
Analysis: Pettis was able to pass a physical and get cleared to compete after being sidelined since the start of training camp. The 27-year-old should be in the mix to earn a depth role in the team's receiving corps; however, with the addition of DJ Moore and Tyler Scott during the offseason, Pettis may find it more difficult to make the Bears' roster this season.

Placed on NFI list
The Bears placed Pettis (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday.
Analysis: Pettis will start training camp on the sideline due to an undisclosed injury. The 2018 second-round pick played in all 17 games for the Bears last season, catching 19 of 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns, but he could find himself competing for a roster spot once healthy due to the additions of DJ Moore and Tyler Scott.

Expected to battle for roster spot
Pettis may battle for a roster spot with Equanimeous St. Brown and Velus Jones, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Pettis recorded 245 yards and three touchdowns and also worked as a punt returner in his first year with the Bears. Since he's not the physical blocker that St. Brown is, it may be difficult for Pettis to surpass him on the depth chart. It seems likely he'll be in a direct battle with Jones. Of the two, Pettis has more experience, but Jones could show improvement in his second year and has a rare size-speed combination. This camp battle could last until the latter days of August.

Back with Bears on one-year deal
Chicago re-signed Pettis to a one-year contract Monday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Pettis logged seven starts while appearing in all 17 of the Bears' games last season, recording a 19-245-3 receiving line while also turning two carries into 37 yards and contributing as a punt returner. The arrival of new top wideout DJ Moore could mean Pettis will receive less opportunities to connect with Justin Fields in the 2023 campaign, but he still projects to play a key depth role in Chicago's pass-catching corps.

Ticketed for free agency
Pettis caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 19 receptions, 245 yards and three touchdowns over 17 games played.
Analysis: Pettis was available for more than 12 games for the first time in his five-year career, but he was a depth receiver, which led to him seeing slightly more than two targets per game. Although he had a pair of games with at least 51 yards and a touchdown, he was held to fewer than 15 yards in most of his games. After staying healthy and reasonably reliable, he should continue to serve as a depth option next year and beyond. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

Back at practice Wednesday
Pettis (head) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Pettis briefly checked into a hospital following Sunday's loss to the Lions with blurred vision, but he was able to fly back to Chicago later that night and appears to have avoided a concussion or a related injury. Barring a setback, Pettis should be full go heading into Chicago's season finale this weekend against the Vikings.

Brief stay at hospital
Pettis returned to Chicago on a separate flight Sunday night after briefly checking into a hospital with blurred vision, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Pettis failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Lions and played a season-low 14 snaps. He was taken to a hospital following the game, but he cleared concussion protocol and was able to fly home Sunday night. However, it's unclear if the fifth-year wideout will be able to practice during Week 18 prep.

Targeted once in defeat
Pettis failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Pettis has surpassed 20 yards once since Week 1, though he has scored four touchdowns this season. He'll be considered a touchdown-dependent dart throw for fantasy in Week 18 against Minnesota.

Avoids concussion
Pettis entered the league's concussion protocols and was sent to the hospital for precautionary reasons, after he was dealing with blurred vision in Sunday's game against the Lions, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Will play Sunday
Pettis (ankle) is active Sunday against the Lions.
Analysis: Pettis injured his ankle in practice Wednesday, but after he was able to log a limited practice Friday, he's good to go Week 17 against Detroit. His ability to suit up should bolster the Bears' depth at receiver.

Uncertain for Sunday
Pettis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Analysis: Pettis hurt his ankle Wednesday, was held out Thursday and then returned to practice Friday as a limited participant. He and Chase Claypool (knee) both are uncertain ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, while fellow Bears wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown has been cleared from concussion protocol.

Doesn't practice Thursday
Pettis (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: According to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune, Pettis hurt his ankle at Wednesday's session, which was the reason he went down as limited. Pettis has just one more chance to mix into drills this week, but on a positive note fellow injured wide receivers Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) both returned Thursday as limited participants, so the Bears appear to be inching toward better health at the position.

Contending with ankle issue
Pettis was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: After catching his first touchdown pass since Oct. 13 this past weekend against Buffalo, Pettis is tending to an injury in advance of this Sunday's matchup with Detroit. The 27-year-old will have two more chances to ramp back up to full speed in practice before the Bears decide whether he carries an injury designation into the weekend.

Scores touchdown in losing effort
Pettis caught two passes for 11 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Pettis hasn't recorded 20 yards in any of his last nine games, and his lack of production will make him difficult to trust in Week 17 lineups.

Targeted four times in defeat
Pettis recorded a 13-yard reception in the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Aside from a 84-yard performance in Week 6, Pettis has failed to reach 20 yards in every game since Week 1. His current role in the offense makes him an unreliable fantasy option.

Targeted twice in defeat
Pettis caught one pass for 14 yards in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

No injury designation
Pettis (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Pettis was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday due to an illness, but he practiced in a full capacity Friday and is good to go for Week 13. Over the last four games, he's secured three of four targets for 33 yards while rushing once for eight yards.

Still sitting out practice
Pettis (illness) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Pettis has now missed both of the Bears' first two practices and will now have one more chance Friday to potentially move past the illness and get in some on-field reps before Sunday's game against the Packers. If Pettis fails to practice Friday, he'll likely carry a designation into the weekend, if he isn't ruled out for the contest entirely.

Pettis didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.
Analysis: Pettis will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before the Bears decide whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. While working with second-string quarterback Trevor Siemian -- who sat out Wednesday's practice with an oblique injury -- in the Bears' Week 12 loss to the Jets, Pettis played 22 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for 12 yards on two targets.

Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Pettis has surpassed 18 yards once over his last 11 games, and he's been targeted just four times over his last four games. Unless he sees an increase in targets, he'll continue to have a low weekly scoring floor.

Handles two touches in defeat
Pettis caught one pass for nine yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Pettis has exactly one target in three of Chicago's last four games, and he hasn't surpassed 18 scrimmage yards in any of his last three contests. With 125 receiving yards since Week 2, his lack of upside compared to his low-scoring floor makes him hard to rely on when setting fantasy lineups.

Targeted once in defeat
Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: After being targeted 13 times over Chicago's last three games, the team acquired Chase Claypool, and Pettis was barely involved in the offense against Miami. Even when Pettis was seeing targets, he had been held to fewer than three yards in five of eight games. It'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups as long as he's outside the Bears' top-two receivers in a low-volume passing attack.

Ties for team lead in targets
Pettis caught four passes on five targets for 18 yards In the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Analysis: Pettis is averaging 22 yards per game, but he's had between zero and two yards in five of eight games. His low scoring floor makes him a risky option when setting weekly fantasy lineups.

Slight usage in victory
Pettis caught one pass for two yards while adding a 29-yard run in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.
Analysis: Coming off an 84-yard performance against Washington, Pettis was a minor part of the offense against the Patriots. He's posted two or fewer receiving yards in five of his last six games, and he won't be a reliable fantasy option unless his role in the offense becomes more consistent.

Makes highlight-reel catch in loss
Pettis secured four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night.
Analysis: Pettis made the Bears' only touchdown of the night memorable with a pretty over-the-shoulder 40-yard catch midway through the third quarter. The 26-year-old led the team in receiving yards as well while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets. Pettis hadn't recorded any statistics over 93 snaps and 51 routes run since scoring a 51-yard touchdown on his only catch in Week 1, so it remains to be seen if Thursday's semi-breakout effort has any carryover into a Week 7 Monday night road…read more

Blanked in defeat
Pettis failed to catch either of his two targets in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Aside from a TD he scored on a busted coverage in Week 1, Pettis has yet to post another reception in the four games since. Although he's been targeted multiple times in the last two games, his lack of production makes him tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

Pettis failed to catch any of his three targets in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Aside from a 51-yard touchdown in Week 1 on a broken play, Pettis has failed to catch another pass this season. Unless his role changes, and the Bears begin throwing the football more, Pettis is unlikely to collect many receptions.

Runs wind sprints in Week 3 win
Pettis went without a target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Since turning his lone target in the Bears' Week 1 win over the 49ers into a 51-yard touchdown reception, Pettis has now gone without a look in the passing game for two straight games. His lack of involvement isn't due to a lack of snaps, as he's handled 56 percent shares in both of the last two weeks as the No. 3 wideout behind Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown.

If the likes of Kadarius Toney (thumb), Kenny Golladay (knee) and/or Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) are healthy by the time Pettis is able to return, he could see his role on offense significantly reduced.

Pettis was signed to the Giants' active roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Michael Elsen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old was a gameday elevation from the practice squad for Sunday's loss to the Rams, but he'll now join the active roster in a longer-term capacity after C.J. Board suffered a broken arm.

Pettis reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
Analysis: Pettis reverting to the practice squad is an automatic transaction after he was elevated for Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Analysis: With Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both inactive and Kadarius Toney (ankle) eventually joining them on the sideline Sunday, Pettis was called upon for his most extensive action since his rookie 2018 season in San Francisco.

Should return soon
Pettis (illness) is expected to "ramp up" his activity and return from the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Pettis is eligible to be activated from the reserve list, so his Giants debut could come this Sunday against the Seahawks. It appears he's cleared the necessary protocols, and the Giants simply want to see if his conditioning is up to par. Fantasy managers should stay away, as the 2018 second-round pick has enjoyed limited offensive success and could be catching passes from Colt McCoy once he eventually takes the field.

Analysis: Though Pettis positive test comes during the Giants' bye week, he'll still likely have a tough time clearing all COVID-19-related protocols ahead of the team's next game Nov. 29 versus the Bengals. The ex-49ers wideout is still looking to make his Giants debut.

Won't play against Philly
Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Pettis has been with the team for nearly two weeks, but his Giants debut will be put on hold once again. According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger, the 2018 second-round pick is expected to suit up for the Giants following the Week 11 bye. Austin Mack and C.J. Board should get more work as depth wideouts for the time being.

Joins active roster
Pettis was activated from the commissioner's exempt list Tuesday.
Analysis: The Giants claimed the 25-year-old off waivers from the 49ers last week, but the team utilized a roster exemption with him unavailable for Week 9 due to the COVID-19 protocols when joining a new team. Pettis played 45 offensive snaps in the season opener but saw minimal playing time in the subsequent games and is without a catch this season. The 2018 second-round pick likely will open as a depth wideout for New York, but he could immediately contribute in the return game.

Won't play Week 9
Pettis (shoulder), whom the Giants claimed off waivers Wednesday, won't be eligible to play in Sunday's game at Washington while he waits to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocol, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: All players moving from one organization to another must self-isolate for five days before reporting to work with their new clubs, so Pettis won't have enough time to get settled in with the Giants before Sunday's game. Pettis should be ready to join the Giants when the team begins Week 10 prep, and he'll likely have a clearer path to playing time in New York than he did in San Francisco. While Pettis likely won't be much more than a depth option at receiver so long as Darius Slayton, Sterling…read more

Scooped off waivers
The Giants claimed Pettis (shoulder) off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday, Michael Eisen of New York's official site reports.
Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick was cut loose by the 49ers on Tuesday after the team was unable to find a trade partner prior to the deadline. Though Pettis' first two seasons with San Francisco were promising -- he recorded 38 receptions, 576 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during that time -- his standing in the organization had soured over the past two years. The move to New York will provide a much-needed fresh start for Pettis, who will likely slot in as the Giants' No. 4 wide receiver…read more

Waived by San Fran
Pettis (shoulder) was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The team attempted to work out a trade prior to Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline but was unable to reach a deal. Pettis, a 2018 second-round pick, had 27 receptions for 467 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie, but he had only 11 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns over the past two seasons. The 25-year-old has played only 66 offensive snaps in 2020 and is currently dealing with a shoulder injury. Pettis seems likely to garner some interest on the waiver wire.

Estimated as non-participant
Pettis (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old picked up the shoulder injury during the second half of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, so it's not a major surprising to see him labeled as a DNP. Pettis' ability to practice the next two days will provide a better idea of his availability for Thursday's contest versus Green Bay.

Injures shoulder Sunday
Pettis (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Pettis suffered his shoulder injury in the second half, when he was brought down hard and fumbled while returning a kickoff. If Pettis can't return, River Cracraft will be the 49ers' only healthy wideout behind Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne and Trent Taylor.

Healthy scratch again
Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick will be on the sideline for the third straight contest. Coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier in the week the team made and fielded calls about potentially trading Pettis, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, so it's not a major surprise to see him a healthy scratch. Richie James will serve as the depth wideout Sunday behind the usual contributors.

Not playing Sunday
Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was dealing with a knee injury earlier in the week, but he avoided an injury designation and is now a healthy scratch for Week 5. Pettis has been targeted once through four games and didn't play an offensive snap during last week's loss to the Eagles.

Pettis (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Pettis suffered the knee injury in Week 4, but as evidenced by this news, the issue isn't serious enough to force him to miss game action. Now that Pettis appears fully healthy, look for him to assume his usual depth role, one that has rendered him a fantasy non-factor thus far this season.

Pettis (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pettis suffered the knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, but the good news was he didn't aggravate the issue. The depth of the receiving room could be tested heading into Week 5's game against the Dolphins, as Trent Taylor (ankle) was also limited in Wednesday's practice.

Pettis is expected to be at practice Wednesday after suffering a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Eagles, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old returned to the field after leaving the game with the injury, and it appears he didn't further aggravate the issue. Pettis returned one punt for six yards and didn't play an offensive snap during the contest.

Remains a non-factor
Pettis played just eight snaps and did not receive a target in Sunday's 36-9 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Pettis was unable to get on the field on offense despite the 49ers running a bit thin at wide receiver. The third-year wideout showed significant attitude and work ethic improvements during training camp, but it hasn't translated to snaps in the regular season. With just one target through three games, Pettis should be left on the waiver wire until his situation improves.

No catches in loss
Pettis was unable to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 24-20 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: So much for getting out of head coach Kyle Shanahan's doghouse during training camp. The sophomore was unable to make anything happen offensively, even with Deebo Samuel (foot) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) sitting this one out. Jimmy Garoppolo looked to his tight ends and running backs early and often, which might be a trend going forward this year. Even if Pettis earns another "start" next week against the Jets, it's hard to get excited after a dud like Sunday's.

Strong bet for 53-man roster
Pettis' spot on the 49ers' regular-season roster appears to be safe heading into Saturday's upcoming cuts, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Pettis' situation in San Francisco was looking bleak after a poor sophomore campaign led to the wideout being left off the active roster for the Super Bowl. Injuries have decimated the 49ers' receiver depth chart during training camp, but the 24-year-old has also improved his standing in the organization heading into the 2020 campaign. Pettis started by mending a rocky relationship with head coach Kyle Shanahan that stemmed from a failed "tough love" experiment in 2019. He has reportedly had an…read more

Analysis: Pettis entered the 2019 season with high expectations after a late breakout at the end of his rookie campaign, but he received criticism from his head coach after getting off to a slow start during training camp. The then 23-year-old responded negatively to the motivation attempts, finishing with just 109 yards and two scores over 11 games, and he even was left as a healthy scratch during the Super Bowl.

Pettis has an opportunity to step up in a 49ers receiving corps dealing with a number of injuries and one player opting out, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: No. 1 wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) is recovering from a Jones fracture that leaves his availability for Week 1 in question, while Richie James (wrist) is on the active/non-football injury list, Jalen Hurd may have suffered a torn ACL, and Travis Benjamin decided not to play this season. Pettis has yet to live up to his standing as a 2018 second-round pick, following up a 27-467-5 line as a rookie with just 11 catches, 109 yards and two touchdowns in 2019.

Pettis may need to compete for a roster spot, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Unable to build on a successful finish to his rookie campaign, the 2018 second-round pick was limited to 11 catches in 11 games last season and didn't play a single snap in the playoffs. Coach Kyle Shanahan said he wants to see Pettis look like he's on a mission this offseason, but the selection of fellow wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk in the first round suggests the Niners aren't counting on much.

Facing crucial offseason
Coach Kyle Shanahan said he wants to see Pettis "on a mission" this offseason, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Unable to build on a strong finish to his rookie campaign, Pettis was limited to 11 receptions and 313 offensive snaps in 2019, eventually serving as a healthy scratch on gamedays. Shanahan said the lack of playing time was based on an accumulation of factors, including a lack of intensity while running routes. Shanahan also hinted that the upcoming offseason could be a make-or-break one for Pettis' career, noting that he's seen some players "filter out" when they struggle to rebound from a…read more

Healthy scratch for Super Bowl
Pettis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Super Bowl against Kansas City, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Pettis has had a dramatic fall from grace with the 49ers throughout his sophomore season, making his inactive status for Super Bowl LIV a fitting end to the 2019 campaign. Though the second-year wideout was active for the NFC Championship Game against the Packers, he didn't play any snaps during the contest.

Practices in full Friday
Pettis (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pettis brushed off the illness that sidelined him Thursday, or at the very least was able to gut it out and fit in every practice rep to wrap up the first week of Super Bowl prep. Considering he hasn't seen a target since Week 10, though, he's unlikely to make a splash versus the Chiefs on Feb. 2.

Pettis (illness) returned to practice Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Pettis only missed one day and should be healthy with plenty of time to spare before the Super Bowl. He was technically active for the NFC Championship Game, but he didn't actually play any snaps in a 37-20 win over the Packers. Any involvement in the Super Bowl would come as a modest surprise.

Under the weather
Pettis did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pettis will have a week and a half to return to full health ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, so there's not yet any reason to consider his availability in jeopardy. More pressingly, the second-year wideout has not recorded a snap on offense since Week 12 of the regular season. Having tumbled down to a depth role in San Francisco's receiver corps, Pettis will be an unlikely candidate to factor into the team's plans on offense even if he's at full strength.

Pettis finished with 11 receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games during the regular season.
Analysis: Pettis was the biggest disappointment for a 49ers squad that surged to the top of the NFC in 2019. The 23-year-old appeared to be turning into a fantasy factor over the final four weeks of the 2018 season, but he failed to build off of the momentum and seize a potential starting opportunity.

Analysis: The 49ers will be down two receivers in Pettis and Marquise Goodwin (knee/foot) in Week 14, but both players have been afterthoughts in coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive game plan of late. Even if Pettis shakes off the sprained knee in time for the Week 15 game against the Falcons, he likely won't be in line for more than a handful of snaps.

Analysis: Pettis sat out Week 13's loss to the Ravens due to a lingering knee issue, and his status for Sunday's tilt against the Saints could come down to a game-time decision.

Avoids serious injury
Pettis is believed to have sprained his left knee during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The injury forced Pettis' early departure in Wednesday's practice and kept him sidelined Thursday, but after he recently underwent an evaluation, the 49ers determined the wideout wasn't dealing with a long-term concern. In any case, Pettis' status for Sunday's game against the Ravens has yet to be determined, but he shouldn't be expected to have a major role on offense even if he gains clearance for the contest. Pettis has logged just seven offensive snaps across the past two games.

Pettis was on the field for just seven snaps and went without a target in Sunday's 37-8 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Seven snaps is an upgrade from the zero Pettis received last week against Arizona, but it has become apparent that the team no longer views him as part of the offensive gameplan. Barring an unforeseen change or injury to another wideout, the second-year man should be left on the wire heading into Week 13.

Pettis (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Available for all 10 of the 49ers games this season, Pettis hasn't made much of an impact when on the field in the previous nine, posting an 11-109-2 line on 24 targets. Top wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) is banged up at the moment, but Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne (and not Pettis) profited when the veteran was knocked out of the team's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. As a result, Pettis may be relegated to a situational role yet again on this game day.

The 49ers used Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne ahead of Pettis after Sanders suffered the rib injury during Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle.

Limited by back injury
Pettis was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a back injury.
Analysis: Pettis is coming off an uneventful performance in Monday's loss to the Seahawks, during which he went without a catch on three targets. He apparently picked up an injury along the way, adding another complication as he prepares for a Week 11 matchup with the Cardinals. The 24-year-old has been minimally involved in the offense over the last three games, so even if he's available this week, he shouldn't garner much fantasy interest.

No catches Monday
Pettis was targeted three times but did not record a catch in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne were given opportunities to shine after Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) left the contest early. Pettis was out there for a few routes (38 percent of snaps), but he was unable to establish any sort of rapport with Jimmy Garoppolo, as has been the case all season. It has been a harsh fall from grace for the 2018 second-round pick, and even if Sanders is unable to go next week, Pettis would not be worth considering in fantasy.

Pettis caught his lone target for 21 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Pettis was removed from his starting role last week against the Panthers, and he retained the decreased role (30 percent of offensive snaps Thursday) behind rookie Deebo Samuel against Arizona. The second-year receiver has really seen his stock plummet after posting WR1 numbers over the final quarter of the 2018 season.
