  Patriots | Jalen Hurd retires    Wed Aug 2, 01:16 PM

New England Patriots WR Jalen Hurd retired from the NFL, according to the transaction wire Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Footballguys view: There was some hope that Hurd's unique big wide receiver/power running back skillset would give a creative offensive coordinator useful versatility, but he never panned out after the 49ers spent a third round pick on him in 2019.

  Texans | Houston shows interest in two FAs    Sat Jul 22, 03:32 PM

Free-agent WR Jalen Hurd (49ers) worked out for the Houston Texans Friday, July 21. The team also met with free-agent TE Eric Tomlinson (Texans).

Footballguys view: Hurd was a third-round pick in 2019 but never saw the field in a meaningful way for the 49ers. Houston's new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik was with San Francisco since 2017, so he might have a plan on how to use Hurd if he signs and somehow makes the team.

  49ers | Jalen Hurd good to go    Tue Jul 27, 03:14 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd (knee) is not expected to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. However, he will likely be limited throughout the first week of practice in camp at the very least.

Footballguys view: Hurd has missed all of his first two seasons in the NFL due to injury. Being ready, even though he's limited, is good news for the young wideout in a make-or-break year.

  49ers | Niners missing a few receivers    Wed Jun 2, 10:00 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd (knee), WR Travis Benjamin (calf) and WR Richie James (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, June 2, but they are expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Footballguys view: All of the receivers listed have battled with injuries during their pro careers. The 49ers have a cramped wide receivers room, so there's a chance that only one of these guys makes the 53-man roster. They need to get healthy ASAP and win a job.

  49ers | Jalen Hurd expected to be ready for camp    Tue May 25, 10:03 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd (knee) is on track to make a complete recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament tear he suffered in August of 2020 and should be ready for training camp, according to comments made by head coach Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday, May 25.

Footballguys view: Hurd was a third-round pick out of Baylor in the 2019 NFL draft and he's never played a down of football in the regular season due to injuries. If healthy, Hurd could compete for the no.3 role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

  49ers | Jalen Hurd continues to rehab    Sat May 1, 09:00 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd (knee) is making good progress in his rehab and is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, according to general manager John Lynch.

Footballguys view: Hurd, a third-round pick in 2019, has missed the past two seasons due to back and knee injuries. If healthy, Hurd has the ability to flash on the field like he did as a rookie in the preseason. Fantasy GMs in crazy deep dynasty formats can hold out hope he'll put it together but on a run-heavy team he's buried on the depth chart.

  49ers | Two SF players to be limited Saturday    Sat Aug 15, 12:52 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd and TE Jordan Reed will be limited in practice Saturday, Aug. 15, because the team wants to ease both players back after they missed the 2019 season.

Footballguys view: That makes sense with both players. Reed has talent as a move tight end and if he stays healthy he'll compete for a spot on the depth chart behind starter George Kittle.

  49ers | Jalen Hurd to be used all over field    Sat May 30, 05:52 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd will line up in the slot, at tight end or in the backfield in 2020, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Footballguys view: Hurd was a third-round pick out of Baylor in the 2019 NFL draft but he missed his entire rookie season due to a back injury. The 49ers have Deebo Samuel and 2020 first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk ahead of him on the depth chart, so Hurd doesn't have much fantasy value in re-draft formats. However, he is a player we've been monitoring since he came into the NFL in dynasty leagues.

  49ers | Setbacks for Jalen Hurd, Trent Taylor    Thu Oct 24, 02:24 AM

San Francisco 49ers WRs Jalen Hurd (back) and Trent Taylor (foot) both suffered 'setbacks,' according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, and the team is not as optimistic that either of them will return from the Reserve/Injured list this season.

Footballguys view: There's a reason why the 49ers make a move to add Emmanuel Sanders this week via trade with the Broncos. Sanders is the lead receiver, the clear-cut No. 1 receiver for the 49ers and has WR2 value for Fantasy GMs.

Footballguys view: Hurd ran over a defender at the goal line and presented some interesting "big slot" possibilities with Trent Taylor's exit due to a broken bone in his foot. He could be a DFS very low owned player in Week 1 lineups with big upside against the Bucs secondary.
