49ers add veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks to practice squad

San Francisco announced the signing of veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks to its practice squad. Cooks, who has accumulated nearly 10,000 receiving yards over a 12-year career, joins the 49ers amid a spate of injuries among the team's receivers. The move is intended to provide depth and experience while the roster recovers.

"We are pleased to add a player of Brandin's caliber and experience," a team spokesperson said. "His knowledge of the game will be valuable as we address our current injury challenges."
