Conley (hamstring) is expected to practice this week after missing Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
The wide receiver sustained the injury in the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Cowboys and, even with the team's bye in Week 9, was not able to return to practice leading up to the Tampa Bay matchup. Conley's return adds depth to a receiver room that is already missing Brandon Aiyuk due to season-ending ACL and MCL tears. Conley has one catch for four yards and no touchdowns on 154 offensive snaps this season.

49ers' Chris Conley: Opens week as DNP
Rotowire
Conley (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Conley suffered the hamstring injury during the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Cowboys and hasn't yet made a full recovery coming out of the team's Week 9 bye.

49ers' Chris Conley: Suffers injury in win
Rotowire
Conley suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys, David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard reports.
Conley played 77 percent of the 49ers' offensive snaps in the win but drew just one target on the night, which he failed to reel in. According to Lombardi, the 32-year-old is considered week-to-week, but with San Francisco headed into a Week 9 bye, it's possible Conley won't miss any time.

49ers' Chris Conley: No catches in start Sunday
Rotowire
Conley failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys.
Conley earned the start sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee) in Sunday's victory, but the veteran wideout did not record a reception despite playing 52 snaps on offense (76 percent). The 32-year-old Conley has big-play potential given his size (6-foot-3) and speedy profile, but the former Chief's lack of usage makes it hard to warrant fantasy consideration outside of deep formats. The 49ers also may get healthier following the bye ahead of a Nov. 10 matchup against the Buccaneers.

49ers' Chris Conley: No designation for Week 8
Rotowire
Conley (ankle) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Coming out of Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, Conley had been managing a sprained ankle, which kept him from taking full reps in practices Wednesday and Thursday. However, after returning to full participation Friday, Conley is in the clear to play Sunday, when he could be in store for a sizable share of the snaps at receiver due to Brandon Aiyuk (knee) being on injured reserve, Jauan Jennings (hip) ruled out and Deebo Samuel (illness) listed as questionable. Along with Conley, rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing and second-year player Ronnie Bell are the 49ers' healthy wideouts at the moment.

49ers' Chris Conley: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Conley (ankle) was a limited participant in San Francisco's practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Conley suffered an ankle injury during last week's loss to the Chiefs but managed to return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity. If the 31-year-old ends up being unable to play versus the Cowboys on Sunday, the 49ers could be shorthanded at receiver, as Deebo Samuel (illness) and Jauan Jennings (hip) are both questionable, and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is on injured reserve.

49ers' Chris Conley: Dealing with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Conley suffered an ankle sprain in Sunday's 28-18 loss to Kansas City, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Conley played 44 of the team's 63 offensive snaps in the contest, failing to reel in either of his targets while picking up an apparent ankle sprain in the process. The wide receiver is considered to be day-to-day with the injury for the time being, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the season, and Deebo Samuel (illness) dealing with pneumonia, Conley, Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings (hip) could all step into prominent roles Week 8 against Dallas if available.

Conley (oblique) is active for Thursday's contest against the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official website reports.
Conley will make his return to the field after missing the team's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals in Week 5 due to an oblique injury. The 31-year-old will operate as the No. 4 option behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings at wide receiver versus Seattle.

49ers' Chris Conley: Gets official designation
Rotowire
Conley (oblique) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Seahawks.
Conley wasn't able to play in Week 5 but, after logging a DNP on Monday, he capped his week with back-to-back limited practice sessions. If the veteran wideout is ultimately inactive for TNF, it'll likely lead to a few extra opportunities for Ronnie Bell and Jacob Cowing.

Rotowire
Conley (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Conley started the week as a DNP on Monday, but he managed to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday.

Conley has registered one catch (on three targets) for four yards through four regular-season outings.

49ers' Chris Conley: DNP Monday
Rotowire
Conley (oblique) was a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
Conley missed the 49ers' Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, and he is considered day-to-day to start the week. More clarity on his chances to play Thursday in Seattle will come as the week progresses. Jacob Cowing, Ronnie Bell and Trent Taylor are all candidates to see some of Conley's depth wide-receiver snaps should he ultimately miss another game.

49ers' Chris Conley: Won't suit up, as expected
Rotowire
Conley (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsay Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
As expected, Conley won't suit up after not practicing all week and drawing a doubtful tag. With Ricky Pearsall (chest) still on the reserve/non-football injury list and Jacob Cowing (shoulder) inactive, Ronnie Bell and Trent Taylor will serve as depth options behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings versus Arizona.

49ers' Chris Conley: Unlikely to play vs. Cardinals
Rotowire
Conley (oblique) is doubtful to play Sunday vs. Arizona after not practicing Friday.
Conley was labelled as day-to-day with an oblique injury he picked up in Week 4 against the Patriots. However, the injury was severe enough to keep him off the field for all three practices this week, and it appears likely that the 2015 third-round pick will be sidelined for Sunday's NFC West contest. If Conley is indeed inactive, Jacob Cowing (shoulder) would be in line to serve as the WR4 behind Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings.

49ers' Chris Conley: DNP again
Rotowire
Conley (oblique) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report.
Conley has missed the first two practices of the week, putting his availability for Sunday's game against Arizona in jeopardy. The 2015 third-round pick will have to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a shot at suiting up. With Jacob Cowing (shoulder) also missing a second straight practice, Ronnie Bell has a shot at serving as the 49ers' No. 4 wide receiver Sunday behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings.

49ers' Chris Conley: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Conley has an oblique injury and is listed as day-to-day by 49ers' coach Kyle Shanahan, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Conley has served as San Francisco's fourth receiver behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings has just one catch for four yards this season. Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell are the next receivers up on the depth chart behind him. First-round pick Ricky Pearsall (chest) could also return from the reserve/non-football injury list this week.

49ers' Chris Conley: Logs first reception in 2024
Rotowire
Conley brought in his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Conley could have served as San Francisco's slot receiver had Jauan Jennings (ankle) been unable to suit up, which would have given the veteran backup some deep-league appeal. With Jennings receiving clearance to play late in the week, Conley reverted to his usual role as No. 4 wideout and special teams contributor on 22 snaps played (nine on offense). The same should be expected from the 32-year-old when the 49ers visit the Rams on Sunday.

49ers' Chris Conley: No receptions in No. 4 role
Rotowire
Conley logged 29 snaps on offense (40 percent) but did not receive a target in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.
The veteran wideout made the 49ers' Week 1 roster but is stuck behind the unquestioned starting trio of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings (ankle). Conley was also on the field for 16 snaps on special teams. He could become a deep-league option for a Week 2 matchup against Minnesota should Jennings miss that contest due to a minor ankle injury sustained in Monday's win over New York.
