The 49ers released wide receiver Dante Pettis from the practice squad injured reserve with a settlement, per Aaron Wilson. Pettis, 30, was a second-round pick by San Francisco in 2018. NFL Trade Rumors reported the team had attempted to trade him before opting to waive him; he was later claimed by the Giants.
On the injury front, quarterback Mike Evans missed Thursday's practice. Several key players returned in full after taking their typical rest day Wednesday: offensive tackle Trent Williams, linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and running back Christian McCaffrey. Running back Kaelon Black practiced in full.
