Ben Standig of The Athletic named the San Francisco 49ers as a team that is interested in wide receiver Jarius Wright while discussing Washington's need for more depth at the position after Kelvin Harmon reportedly suffered a torn ACL.
Washington realistically needed more WR depth and now for sure with Harmon down. Jarius Wright makes for an obvious candidate based on ties to Turner/Rivera. Don't know if he's on the short list yet. He is on San Francisco's at least and possibly other teams.
Two 49ers receivers, Deebo Samuel and Richie James, are missing time due to injuries. The former suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot while the latter sustained a broken right wrist.
Wright, 30, has eight years of NFL experience. San Francisco could be looking at its options with training camp scheduled to start in a couple of weeks.
The Minnesota Vikings made Wright a fourth-round selection out of Arkansas in 2012. He registered 28 receptions for 296 yards through 16 games with the Carolina Panthers in 2019.
Wright has caught 224 passes for 2,782 yards with 11 touchdowns through his NFL career.
