Is there hope? Can his career be revived? What if he stays healthy?

All would be a plus - if he can show he is back healthy and contributing, that's all we can ask for.

I wouldn't count him out. If he stays healthy he has the ability to play at a high level.

He's really big and really fast and can make plays.

Outside of Deebo and Aiyuk, I don't think any WR is a sure bet to make this team. White has the potential to break out and find himself a spot. I think Tavon Austin is one of the top three guys we have. I don't see either Trent Taylor or Kendrick Bourne as being locks either.

I liked him coming out in the draft - he has to prove he can stay healthy if he wants to get a nice future contract.

Desire, my man . . . desire!
If he has that, he's easily a #1 caliber receiver!

If Austin improves our punt return and kick off return game we take our team to another level. It was already the best team in the league or at least top 2. If our special teams gets better by just a bit we are easily the best team in the NFL. So I think we have to keep Austin because obviously we can't rely on Pettis. Please no more watching James Junior catch punts and either run out of bounds or call a fair catch

...or tackled upon first touch.

I hear ya but after "Kyle Butterfingers what's his face" f'ing us, I'm just glad each time the returner catches the ball and we retain possession.

He's a guy to possibly stash on the practice squad if they see flashes of his old form. But there's not enough time for him to earn a spot on the 53.

With the way our WRs is dropping he might have a shot. Didn't know even Nelson is hurt and will miss a month

Dudes are getting hurt in walk-through's now.

How the heck can you get hurd on a Walk-through.

Walk through? Heck WR's pulling Ham's getting out of the car to go in the building.

Ha. For real. Guys like Taylor and James certainly are much more sure handed.
Kevin white barely has a chance to show what he can do. If he stays healthy and can pick up the offense; with all the injuries we have at WR , he may be able to make the practice squad

That would be great for him. He could get his body in order an also possibly be able to make a contribution to the team

Yeah, he should get some snaps with all the injuries - got to take advantage of the opportunity.
I know he is big and fast. What's the word on his hands and routes?

Yeah dont know About Taylor but Bourne is going to make the Squad.
8th pick of the draft, second wide receiver after Amari Cooper but bigger and faster-6'3" 215-220 lbs and ran a 4.34 in the combine. No. 1 receiver in his college conference and a Biletnikof award finalist. Wow! What happened? I saw it's due mostly to injuries, almost every year he fractured something. But still young though, only 28.
