Rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd has not played since the San Francisco 49ers' second preseason game. He has been dealing with a back injury since. Wide receiver
Trent Taylor suffered a fractured foot before that game and has not played or practiced since August 8.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan hopes to get his offensive weapons back after the team's Week 4 bye, maybe even sooner.
"[Having them back after the bye is] the plan," Shanahan told reporters after Friday's practice in Youngstown, Ohio. "I hope so, and I hope there's a chance next week. But that's really the goal."
Shanahan views running back Tevin Coleman's (ankle) status as similar to his injured receivers'. He, like the Hurd and Taylor, is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The hope is to have Coleman back after the bye week with anything before that being a bonus.
The 49ers selected Hurd in the third round of April's draft. He was the second of two receivers drafted. The other,
Deebo Samuel, did play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and recorded three catches for 17 yards but also lost a fumble.
Hurd had three catches for 31 yards and two touchdowns during his 49ers debut in an August 10 preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
The 49ers made Taylor a fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech in 2017. He is in his third NFL season.
San Francisco signed Coleman to a two-year deal in March. He started Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers (and Maliek Collins, acquired via a

Opening Comments:
John Lynch: "You guys have fun? Yeah. Long day. Long day. Excited about our pick. Go ahead. Shoot."
Just the rationale. Why did you pick him? You guys have a lot of needs and what made you guys focus in on him?
JL: "We know we do well when we have consensus in our group. And that's from scouting, coaching, R&D, and we really had that with [WR] Ricky [Pearsall]. He's a guy who,
John Lynch discusses draft strategy following Day 1; Kyle Shanahan jokes about 49ers' past misses
Shortly after the San Francisco 49ers finalized their selection of former Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan shared insights with Bay Area radio station KNBR. Reflecting on Day 1's events, Lynch was questioned about the team's approach for the remaining six rounds.
"Well, we will see," Lynch responded thoughtfully, trying not to reveal too much. "We'll get a good sleep right now. We'll wake up. Tomorrow will be a busy day and a fun day. We've got a lot of picks. We just got to make them count; all of them count."
San Francisco has nine more draft picks, barring any trades. The team's next pick is currently the 63rd overall selection toward the end of the second
Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
