Cowing caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing saw his usage increase after the 49ers lost both starting wideouts early in the contest. The 2024 fourth-round pick used that opportunity to not only record his first catch as a professional, but he also tied teammate George Kittle for the longest reception of the game (41 yards). Cowing could continue to get work as the team's third or fourth receiver -- depending on the health status of multiple wideouts this week -- when the 49ers host the Cowboys next Sunday.

Cowing (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing was able to return to practice late last week, ultimately sitting out the team's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals. The wide receiver was reported to be considered day-to-day to open the week Monday according to Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site. Cowing will look to make his return to the field in Thursday's matchup with the Seahawks.

Cowing (shoulder) is considered day-to-day as the 49ers begin Week 6 prep Monday, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing has been considered day-to-day since Sept. 30 after he suffered his shoulder injury in Week 4 against the Patriots. The rookie receiver was able to return to practice this past Friday, so he's at least made some progress in that time. Whether or not he'll be able to play in Week 6 likely won't be clear until closer to Thursday night's kickoff.

Cowing (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsay Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing had a chance to suit up after logging a limited practice session Friday, but he'll join Chris Conley (oblique) and Ricky Pearsall (chest) in street clothes. Ronnie Bell and Trent Taylor will serve as depth options behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings versus the Cardinals.

Cowing (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing was a DNP in each of the first two practices of the week, but he's given himself a chance to play Sunday after logging a limited session Friday. If he does suit up and Chris Conley (oblique) does not, Cowing would serve as the No. 4 wideout behind Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings.

Cowing (shoulder) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing has missed the first two practices of the week after injuring his shoulder in Week 4 against the Patriots. He'll have one more chance to practice in some capacity in order to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Cardinals. Ronnie Bell has a chance at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wideout in Week 5 if both Cowing and Chris Conley (oblique) are unable to play.

Cowing (shoulder) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing (shoulder) is considered day to day after being injured in Sunday's win over the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

A fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Cowing has played just four offensive snaps and 15 on special teams through four games. He's yet to see a target on offense but has returned six punts for 32 yards. Kyle Juszczyk handled punt return duties after Cowing's injury Sunday.

Cowing is questionable to return to Sunday's game against New England due to a shoulder injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing returned two punts for eight yards but did not see a pass from Brock Purdy before heading to the locker room due to a shoulder injury. Isaac Guerendo could fill in for Cowing as the 49ers' punt returner if the latter is unable to return to Sunday's game.

Cowing (illness) appears to be all set to play Sunday versus the Patriots, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowing was absent from Thursday's practice session with an illness, but he now looks to be a full go for Week 4. The wide receiver will likely operate in his role as the team's primary punt returner versus New England.
