The San Francisco 49ers made a surprising move on Tuesday, placing veteran wide receiver Marquise Goodwin on injured reserve and ending his season, according to Field Yates of ESPN. The team later confirmed the move.
Goodwin did not play during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints and has been inactive for two of the 49ers' last three games. He has just 12 receptions for 186 yards with a touchdown through nine games this season. The receiver's last reception came on November 17 against the Arizona Cardinals, and it was his only receptions since an October 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Goodwin is in his third season with the 49ers and seventh in the NFL. He appeared on the 49ers' injury report last week with knee and foot injuries.
"He's dealing with some chronic stuff," head coach Kyle Shanahan shared on Monday. "We're evaluating treatment options right now."
San Francisco initially signed Goodwin to a two-year contract on March 9, 2017, and then signed him to a three-year extension on March 8, 2018. He is
scheduled to count $5.125 million against the salary cap in 2020, and $6.475 million in 2021, putting his future with the 49ers very much in doubt.
The 49ers are also expected to place center Weston Richburg, who suffered a torn patellar tendon against the Saints, on injured reserve. That will open two spots on the roster.
The 49ers made other roster moves, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. The team has signed linebacker Joey Alfieri to the practice squad and placed linebacker
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles on injured reserve from the practice squad.
Flannigan-Fowles left last Thursday's practice during special-teams drills with an injury.
The 49ers also signed offensive lineman Kofi Amichia to the practice squad, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
The 49ers later announced some corresponding practice-squad moves with the release of wide receiver Deontay Burnett and linebacker Christian Sam.
The Philadelphia Eagles signed Alfieri as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford on May 10 and then waived him on August 2. He was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants the next day and later waived by the Giants on August 31.
The Green Bay Packers made Amichia a sixth-round draft pick out of South Florida in 2017. He has since spent time with the Baltimore Ravens (2018-19) and Carolina Panthers (2019). The latter waived him from injured reserve on September 24.

If the 49ers draft a wide receiver, don't expect it to be a smaller guy
The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.

Brandon Aiyuk's agent denies report of Steelers 'aggressively pursuing' the 49ers receiver
On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…
Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers (and Maliek Collins, acquired via a
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
