San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Jones (ankle) sat out the team's practice Friday, June 11, reports Phil Barber, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

Footballguys view: Jones is trying to impress coaches after a disappointing one-catch season last year. He'll have to get healthy and start making plays because the 49ers added players like Ted Ginn and Kyle Williams this offseason.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Jones (ankle) turned an ankle during the team's practice Thursday, June 10, reports Phil Barber, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

Footballguys view: Jones is trying to impress the coaching staff as the slot receiver behind starters Josh Morgan and Michael Crabtree. He had a very disappointing season last year, and needs to stay healthy if he wants to get back on track in 2010.

  49ers | Jones frustrated with lack of reps    Wed Jun 9, 11:05 AM

Matt Maiocco, from CSNBayArea.com, reports WR Brandon Jones is having a difficult time getting a look even during the 49ers' offseason program. He made one catch Tuesday during a streak in which Smith completed 18 of 19 passing attempts. "Yes, it's very frustrating," Jones said. "But if I show I can make plays, they can't hold me out for too long."

Footballguys view: Jones was the 49ers highest paid free agent last year, but only played in eight games due to a shoulder injury and caught only one pass on the season. He's trying to prove himself as a slot receiver, and is also getting reps as the third-string flanker. We expect the 49ers to be more of a run heavy team in 2010, and Jones shouldn't be on the fantasy radar unless there's a cluster of injuries in front of him on the depth chart.

  49ers | Lots of competition at wide receiver    Sat May 15, 10:12 AM

San Francisco 49ers WRs Ted Ginn Jr., Jason Hill, Brandon Jones, Dominique Zeigler and Kyle Williams are expected to compete for playing time and/or roster spots behind presumptive starters WRs Michael Crabtree and Josh Morgan, according to Matt Maiocco, of CSNBayArea.com.

Footballguys view: The player who could make an impact as a slot receiver out of this group is rookie Kyle Williams. The former Arizona State Sun Devil knows how to get open with his ultra quickness and suddenness off the line of scrimmage. Former first-round pick Ted Ginn is trying to prove his worth as both a receiver and a return man, and he should get the first opportunity to be the slot receiver because of his experience in the league.

  49ers | B. Jones will have to earn role on the team    Thu Jan 14, 01:40 AM

Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Jones is scheduled to make $2.145 million in base salary in 2010.

Footballguys view: Jones was barely on the field in 2009 and caught just one pass this entire season. He knows that he will have to earn his role with a solid offseason and fantastic training camp. If Jones can make some plays during the preseason it will help his chances of making the team immensely.

'To be honest, I don't know myself. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I thought I was a receiver, but I guess I'm a special teams helper. I don't know. I just do what I can and just help out the team the best way I can. But at this time, I'm wondering the same thing you are,' Jones said.

  49ers | Zeigler could have opportunity    Sat Aug 8, 10:15 AM

Dan Brown, of the San Jose Mercury News, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Dominique Zeigler could have an opportunity for an extended look in training camp with the injury to WR Brandon Jones (shoulder) and holdout of WR Michael Crabtree.

Footballguys view: Zeigler has been the standout player in training camp and could play an important role as the 49ers #3 receiver if Crabtree continues to miss practice time. Zeigler will compete with Jason Hill for the #3 job, and so far in camp has been impressing with his quickness, route running, and sticky hands.

  49ers | Jones out eight weeks    Fri Aug 7, 02:27 PM

Updating a previous report, Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Jones (shoulder) will be out for eight weeks because of a fracture in his right shoulder.

Footballguys view: Isaac Bruce and Jason Hill move up on this news, particularly Hill since he will have the chance to get some important snaps and show what he can do, instead of languishing as the #5. Dominique Zeigler even gets a bump. The camp standout who has been making highlight plays every other day has a legitimate chance to make the team now, as does Arnaz Battle, who has to stay healthy to hold off Zeigler on the depth chart.
