The San Francisco 49ers announced that the team has officially activated wide receiver
Kendrick Bourne from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
General manager John Lynch announced this morning
during an interview on KNBR that Bourne would travel with the 49ers for the team's road game this weekend against the New Orleans Saints.
"The good news is he'll be traveling with us to New Orleans," Lynch said. "The challenge there, he's been out of the building since last Tuesday and been at home. ... He's been in quarantine. So, that's a challenge."
This was the second time Bourne has landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He missed last week's matchup against the Green Bay Packers after testing positive for the virus but was cleared the day after the game.
Added Lynch: "We're pretty lean [at receiver], so we're going to rely on Kendrick, hopefully, if everything works out until Sunday, that he'll be at least part of that rotation."
The fourth-year receiver has caught 25 passes for 352 receiving yards with a touchdown through eight games and four starts this season.

Kendrick Bourne is one of several players on the San Francisco 49ers who may have played his final game with the team on Sunday, but it sounds like he'd prefer to extend his time in the Bay Area well past this season if he has any say in the matter.
Bourne just finished his fourth season with the 49ers and is now slated to be an unrestricted free agent after re-signing with the team as a restricted free agent in the spring. Bourne has 132 catches for 1,693 yards and 11 touchdowns since joining the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Washington in 2017. He has also established himself over his career as one of the team's top depth options at receiver, but the 49ers have a number of key players to re-sign this offseason in addition to Bourne and a limited amount of
Kendrick Bourne, Mike McGlinchey offer strong endorsement of Jimmy Garoppolo as 49ers' season ends

The San Francisco 49ers embark on an offseason filled with more questions than answers. However, the main focus of the media will be on the team's quarterback situation. Will Jimmy Garoppolo be back in 2021, or has he suited up in red and gold for the last time?
The 49ers players know the situation and eagerly await to see how it is resolved. They want to see Garoppolo return and endorsed him as the team's quarterback in 2021.
"We'll see," wide receiver Kendrick Bourne said when asked about the situation. "I don't know if they're talking about drafting anybody, but I believe in Jimmy, I believe in [C.J. Beathard] and [Nick Mullens]. I play with all those guys. I caught a touchdown from each one of them, so I don't really mind who's back there,
