The 49ers are adding to their wide receiver room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

San Francisco acquired pass-catcher Skyy Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to multiple reports<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trade comes as the franchise is dealing with a bit of a mess at the position, with Week 1 just over two weeks away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former second-team All-Pro Brandon Aiyuk is expected to miss the first month or two of the season after suffering a season-ending injury late last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings has been sidelined since early training camp with a calf injury, although the veteran is also reportedly unhappy with his contract situation.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 49ers\u2019 offseason addition Demarcus Robinson was suspended for the first three games of the season for violating the league\u2019s substance abuse policy, head coach Kyle Shanahan announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A little lower down the WR depth chart, Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing are also dealing with injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The speedy Moore has big-play ability, which he showed off on Friday against the Seahawks with an 88-yard punt return touchdown, although he has struggled to break through with the Chiefs since being drafted in the second round in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moore had 43 receptions for 494 yards and one touchdown through the first three seasons of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last season, Moore had zero catches on three targets while making appearances in six games before a core muscle injury ended his season in October.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are looking to return to the postseason after a disappointing 2024 season, during which they finished 6-11, last place in the NFC West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 49ers are adding to their wide receiver room.\u00a0 San Francisco acquired pass-catcher Skyy Moore and a 2027…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[1236,349,560,99],"class_list":["post-98897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-nfl","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
