Wide Receiver Injury Crisis

The 49ers' WR room is decimated: Jacob Cowing (hip flexor) and Christian Kirk (calf) added to injury list, joining existing absences. Day 8: Stribling returned from hamstring injury, providing a boost. Only Deebo Samuel (struggling) and KhaDarel Hodge (signed) provide depth. Purdy still sharp, hitting deep throws to Turner and Hodge. Chris Foerster preaches 'next man up' but concerns persist.
