Conley (elbow) has decided to retire from the NFL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley had been a free agent after playing in 15 regular-season games with San Francisco last year, tallying six catches on 12 targets for 76 yards. He injured his elbow during the 49ers' final contest of the campaign, but it wasn't announced as a severe issue, and the injury wasn't mentioned as a factor in the wideout's decision to retire. The Georgia product's best campaign came in 2019 with Jacksonville, when he recorded career-high marks of 47 receptions (on 90 targets) for 775 yards while tying a career best with five touchdowns over 16 regular-season contests.

Conley (elbow) appeared in 15 games for the 49ers this season, finishing with six receptions on 12 targets for 76 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Conley finished his second year in San Francisco with similar minimal results from a fantasy perspective. The veteran wideout injured his elbow in the team's final game of the regular season, but the severity of the injury wasn't disclosed. At age 32, Conley is set to become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason.

Conley (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley suffered the elbow injury in the second half and his return is now up in the air. The wide receiver caught both of his targets for 30 yards before departing Sunday. In his absence, Trent Taylor is a candidate to see an increase in workload with San Francisco's offense.

Conley went without a target while playing three of the 49ers' 54 snaps on offense in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has suited up for each of the 49ers' last five games but has drawn just one target over that stretch. Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall are entrenched as the 49ers' preferred three-receiver set, and rookie Jacob Cowing (four snaps on offense in Week 15) could be threatening Conley for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart.

Conley (knee) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Bills, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley will ultimately be able to go in Week 13 after logging back-to-back limited practices to end the week. The wide receiver has played just seven offensive snaps over the last two games, failing to reel in his only target.

Conley (knee) is questionable to suit up Sunday against Buffalo, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley finished the week with a pair of limited practices after not appearing on the injury report Wednesday. The veteran wideout has only one catch on the season, so he's not a big part of the 49ers' passing game. However, if Conley is unable to play Sunday, Ronnie Bell and/or Jacob Cowing could see a few more offensive snaps than usual.

Conley (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley had missed the 49ers' Week 10 game against the Bucs due to a hamstring injury, but he has played in each of the last two games. However, it appears he's now working through a knee injury, and his practice participation Friday will indicate his status heading into Sunday night's game against the Bills.

Conley (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was unable to play this past Sunday against the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices, but he was able to participate in Friday's session with no restrictions and will be good to go in Sunday's NFC West clash.

Conley (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Conley injured his hamstring in Week 8 against Dallas, and even with San Francisco on a bye for Week 9, the injury was severe enough for him to be sidelined this past Sunday against Tampa Bay. He was unable to practice all of last week, so his ability to participate in a limited capacity Wednesday indicates that he's trending in the right direction. Conley will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.

Conley (hamstring) is expected to practice this week after missing Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver sustained the injury in the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Cowboys and, even with the team's bye in Week 9, was not able to return to practice leading up to the Tampa Bay matchup. Conley's return adds depth to a receiver room that is already missing Brandon Aiyuk due to season-ending ACL and MCL tears. Conley has one catch for four yards and no touchdowns on 154 offensive snaps this season.
