Kendrick Bourne Tests Positive For COVID-19
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, according to a source. It means that Bourne will not play on Thursday night against the Packers. Any players deemed to be high-risk close contacts of his will also be ruled out, assuming the Week 9 game goes on as scheduled on Thursday night. It's a tough break for Bourne and the Niners offense, as the 25-year-old posted season highs in targets (10), catches (eight) and receiving yards (81) in the Week 8 loss to the Seahawks. With George Kittle (foot) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out, the Niners will lean on rookie Brandon Aiyuk, Richie James and Trent Taylor in three-receiver sets.
