Reports are saying 49ers third-year wide receiver Jalen Hurd could be ready by training camp, which is important because it could be his last chance.

If there’s one goal for San Francisco 49ers third-year wide receiver Jalen Hurd in 2021, it’s to stay healthy.

Unfortunately, this has been something Hurd hasn’t been able to do the last two seasons. After being selected in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft, Hurd flashed some talents during the preseason but ultimately fell victim to a serious back injury that prematurely ended his rookie year and even prevented him from traveling with the team to Super Bowl LIV.
