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.

49ers' Chris Conley: Returns to San Francisco
Rotowire
The 49ers re-signed Conley on a one-year deal Saturday.
The veteran wideout will remain in San Francisco after spending last season with the 49ers. Conley saw minimal offensive work in 2023, playing just 110 offensive snaps and recording 69 receiving yards on three receptions. Given that he appeared in only eight games last year, Conley will likely be competing for another depth role in San Francisco's wide receiver room as the offseason progresses.

49ers' Chris Conley: First target comes in Week 18
Rotowire
Conley finished the 2023 campaign with three receptions for 69 yards across eight regular-season games with San Francisco.
Conley spent most of the season on the 49ers' practice squad, sporadically appearing in games for a handful of snaps when needed. It wasn't until his eighth appearance against the Rams in Week 18 that the speedy veteran logged his first catch since signing with San Francisco. At 31 years old, Conley doesn't offer a ton of upside as an impending unrestricted free agent nor as a fantasy asset in 2024.

The 49ers signed Conley to their active roster Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The 31-year-old wideout is in line to appear in his fourth game of the year Sunday after signing with San Francisco's active roster Saturday. Conley has played 28 total snaps (19 offensive and nine on special teams) over his three appearances this season, and he'll likely serve as a depth piece in the 49ers' wide receiver room in Week 14.

Rotowire
Conley reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday.
Conley saw action for the third time this season versus the Eagles on Sunday with Ray-Ray McCloud out with a rib injury. The 31-year-old failed to record any stats in all three of his appearances and will now have to be signed to the active roster if he's to suit up for the 49ers again this season.

49ers' Chris Conley: Promoted ahead of Sunday's contest
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Conley to their active roster Saturday.
The veteran wideout's promotion could mean that San Francisco is preparing to be without Ray-Ray McCloud (ribs) in Sunday's affair. Conley has appeared in two games for the 49ers this season, playing a total of 16 snaps (10 offensive and six on special teams).

49ers' Chris Conley: Elevated from practice squad
Rotowire
Conley has been elevated to the 49ers' active roster ahead of Monday's matchup with the Vikings,
This marks the second elevation for Conley this season, as he saw nine offensive snaps (12 percent) in Week 3. His addition to the active roster is likely to boost depth at receiver with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) sidelined. Still, the veteran pass catcher is not expected to see much of the field, barring any more injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.

49ers' Chris Conley: Gets elevation from practice squad
Rotowire
San Francisco elevated Conley from its practice squad ahead of Thursday's game versus the Giants, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) trending towards sitting out in Week 3, the 49ers saw fit to bring Conley up from their practice squad to provide depth at wide receiver. However, given Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are all healthy, Conley's path to targets is nearly nonexistent.

Chris Conley: Inks practice-squad deal
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Conley (shoulder) to their practice squad Wednesday.
Conley strained the AC joint in his shoulder during the 49ers' preseason finale and didn't make the team's initial 53-man roster. However, the veteran wideout appears to be fine and will serve as a depth option on San Francisco's practice squad to start 2023. The 2015 third-round pick set career highs with Jacksonville in 2019, totaling 47 catches for 775 yards and five scores, but his production has dropped every year since.

Chris Conley: Does not make team
Rotowire
Conley (shoulder) was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Conley was considered day-to-day after straining an AC joint in his shoulder in the 49ers' preseason finale. It is unclear if he is still nursing that injury or recovered from it. He was considered on the roster bubble, but ultimately came up short, so it would not be unlikely if he gets a look on the team's practice squad. The journeyman pass catcher spent time with both the Texans and Titans in 2022.

49ers' Chris Conley: Will not return
Rotowire
Conley has been ruled out of Friday's preseason game after suffering a shoulder injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Conley is fighting for a spot on the active roster after signing with San Francisco this offseason. The veteran wideout has also had stints in Kansas City, Jacksonville, Houston and Tennessee throughout his career. If the 30-year-old does make the 49ers' active roster, he'll most likely serve as a depth piece in their wide receiver room. The extent of his injury is currently unknown.

49ers' Chris Conley: Signing with San Francisco
Rotowire
Conley and the 49ers agreed to terms on a one-year deal Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Conley bounced between the Titans' practice squad and active roster last year after spending time with both the Texans and Chiefs earlier in the season, and he caught four of his seven targets for 46 yards in nine games. The 2015 third-round pick now will head to San Francisco for the upcoming campaign and compete for a spot as a depth receiver.

Titans' Chris Conley: Minimal production in 2022
Rotowire
Conley recorded four receptions on five targets for 46 yards across seven games during the 2022 season.
Conley began the season with the Texans and also spent time with the Chiefs. However, the Titans signed him Oct. 25, and he bounced between the team's practice squad and active roster for the rest of the campaign. Conley will hit free agency this offseason and will likely battle for a roster spot as a depth receiver to begin 2023.

Titans' Chris Conley: First catch with Titans
Rotowire
Conley recorded one catch on one target for 27 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to Jacksonville.
Conley has bounced around Tennessee's roster for much of the season but was active in the absence of Treylon Burks (concussion). He finished third among the team's receiving corps with 32 offensive snaps, but he still managed only one target. Conley's role will shrink further once Burks is able to return to the field.

Conley was signed to the Titans' 53-man roster Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Conley earned the promotion with Treylon Burks (concussion) and C.J. Board (ribs) out Sunday against Jacksonville. He'll likely operate as the team's No. 3 or No. 4 wideout behind Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, while Racey McMath also joined the 53-man roster after being activated off IR on Saturday.

Chris Conley: Back with practice squad
Rotowire
Conley signed with the Titans' practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Conley was waived by the team Wednesday, but he's back for another stint in Tennessee. The veteran receiver has played in two games for the Titans this season, seeing one target but failing to haul it in. He'll now work to earn a chance back with the active roster.

Chris Conley: Let go by Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans waived Conley on Wednesday.
Conley helped fill in for Tennessee's banged-up receiving corps in Weeks 8 and 9, though he was targeted just once over 22 offensive snaps during this span. The 30-year-old was then ruled a healthy scratch ahead of Sunday's win over Denver, and he'll now look to record his first catch of the season elsewhere. Conley caught 22 of his 37 targets for 323 yards and two touchdowns over 16 regular-season games with Houston last year, but he'll likely have to work his way up while on another team's practice squad in 2022.

Rotowire
Conley (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.
Conley was active for each of the team's last two contests, seeing one target but failing to haul it in, while he played 22 snaps on offense. The veteran wideout has fallen down a peg on the team's positional depth chart with the return of Treylon Burks (foot/toe).
