Conley finished the 2023 campaign with three receptions for 69 yards across eight regular-season games with San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Conley spent most of the season on the 49ers' practice squad, sporadically appearing in games for a handful of snaps when needed. It wasn't until his eighth appearance against the Rams in Week 18 that the speedy veteran logged his first catch since signing with San Francisco. At 31 years old, Conley doesn't offer a ton of upside as an impending unrestricted free agent nor as a fantasy asset in 2024.

The 49ers signed Conley to their active roster Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old wideout is in line to appear in his fourth game of the year Sunday after signing with San Francisco's active roster Saturday. Conley has played 28 total snaps (19 offensive and nine on special teams) over his three appearances this season, and he'll likely serve as a depth piece in the 49ers' wide receiver room in Week 14.

Conley reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley saw action for the third time this season versus the Eagles on Sunday with Ray-Ray McCoud out with a ribs injury. The 31-year-old however failed to record any stats in all three of his appearances.

The 49ers elevated Conley to their active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran wideout's promotion could mean that San Francisco is preparing to be without Ray-Ray McCloud (ribs) in Sunday's affair. Conley has appeared in two games for the 49ers this season, playing a total of 16 snaps (10 offensive and six on special teams).

Conley reverted to San Francisco's practice squad on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley played just one offensive snap and appeared on special teams but didn't record any stats during Tuesday's loss to the Vikings. Conley has yet to be targeted in his two games played this season and will now await another opportunity to be called up for action.

Conley has been elevated to the 49ers' active roster ahead of Monday's matchup with the Vikings,
EDGE Analysis
This marks the second elevation for Conley this season, as he saw nine offensive snaps (12 percent) in Week 3. His addition to the active roster is likely to boost depth at receiver with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) sidelined. Still, the veteran pass catcher is not expected to see much of the field, barring any more injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.

Conley reverted to the 49ers practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Conley saw the field for nine of the team's 83 offensive snaps behind Deebo Samuel (68), Ray-Ray McCloud (38), Ronnie Bell (31) and Jauan Jennings (31) on Thursday against the Giants. He was called up to provide depth at receiver with Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) sidelined. The veteran pass catcher will now await his next opportunity to be elevated while looking to impress at practice.

San Francisco elevated Conley from its practice squad ahead of Thursday's game versus the Giants, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) trending towards sitting out in Week 3, the 49ers saw fit to bring Conley up from their practice squad to provide depth at wide receiver. With Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey all still healthy though, Conley's path to targets is nearly nonexistent.

The 49ers signed Conley (shoulder) to their practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley strained the AC joint in his shoulder during the 49ers' preseason finale and didn't make the team's initial 53-man roster. However, the veteran wideout appears to be fine and will serve as a depth option on San Francisco's practice squad to start 2023. The 2015 third-round pick set career highs with Jacksonville in 2019, totaling 47 catches for 775 yards and five scores, but his production has dropped every year since.

Conley (shoulder) was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was considered day-to-day after straining an AC joint in his shoulder in the 49ers' preseason finale. It is unclear if he is still nursing that injury or recovered from it. He was considered on the roster bubble, but ultimately came up short, so it would not be unlikely if he gets a look on the team's practice squad. The journeyman pass catcher spent time with both the Texans and Titans in 2022.
