49ers' Jordan Watkins: Has high-ankle sprain
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Watkins is nursing a high-ankle sprain and will be out roughly one month, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Watkins suffered the injury during the 49ers' 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, in which he corralled three of six targets for 56 yards. The timing of the rookie fourth-round pick's injury is discouraging, as he appeared to be putting together real momentum early in training camp and injuries elsewhere in San Francisco's wide receiver corps had opened up real opportunities. His status now looks uncertain for Week 1 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 7.

49ers' Jordan Watkins: Paces pass catchers in defeat
Watkins brought in three of six targets for 56 yards in the 49ers' 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.
The rookie fifth-round pick took advantage of his first game-based opportunity to make his case for a roster spot, recording teams highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. His numbers were primarily the result of a 50-yard grab on the 49ers' third play from scrimmage, an impressive contested catch down the left side of the field against Ja'Quan McMillian. Watkins, who finished his college career at Mississippi with a 49-906-9 line across 12 games in 2024, is currently slotted fairly deep down the depth chart, but he'll give the coaching staff something to think about if he can continue thriving in San Francisco's second preseason game next Saturday afternoon on the road against the Raiders.

49ers' Jordan Watkins: Expected back at practice
Watkins (undisclosed) is expected to return to practice Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Watkins was forced to leave Friday's practice early due to an unspecified injury, but it doesn't appear to be serious, as he's slated to be on the field for Saturday's session. With the 49ers' wide receiver corps battling injuries, Watkins will have the opportunity to work more with the first-team offense and build chemistry with Brock Purdy.

49ers' Jordan Watkins: Could be third or fourth WR?
Watkins is in the mix to be third or fourth on San Francisco's WR depth chart to start the season, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
The fourth-round pick reportedly carried his momentum from a strong offseason program into the first week of training camp, although Watkins and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan both said the rookie has made his fair share of mistakes. There's an opportunity for first-team reps this summer, with Brandon Aiyuk (ACL), Jauan Jennings (calf) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) all missing practice time. Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) also has missed practices, but he was activated from the active/PUP list Sunday.

49ers' Jordan Watkins: Final pick of fourth round
The 49ers selected Watkins in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 138th overall.
Watkins was overshadowed by bigger names in the wide receiver corps at Ole Miss throughout his time in college, but he was still a significant contributor. He tied for the SEC lead in touchdown receptions with nine in 2024 and was also productive as a punt returner during his time with the Rebels. Watkins is likely to be buried on the depth chart even with the 49ers losing Deebo Samuel and potentially being without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) to begin the season, but he should have a chance to make the roster as a special-teams contributor.
