Ross Dwelley A Risky Start In Week 9
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley will be one of the team's few experienced pass-catchers available in their Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers. Dwelley caught his first touchdown pass of the year in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he has just six catches on nine targets over the season. Jordan Reed (knee) was activated from Injured Reserve prior to the game and will make his return in Week 9, so Reed, Dwelley, wide receiver Trent Taylor and running back Jerick McKinnon should be the top targets for quarterback Nick Mullens in the game. Dwelley has a chance to catch three or four passes and find the endzone but he's risky to rely on amidst the 49ers short-handed offense.
