The San Francisco 49ers hosted WR Russell Gage for a workout on Wednesday, according to Aaron Wilson.
San Francisco has already lost WR Brandon Aiyuk for the year and WR Deebo Samuel was recently hospitalized with a Pneumonia bout, so the team could be looking for depth at that position.
Gage, 28, was a sixth-round pick by the Falcons out of LSU back in 2018. He made the 53-man roster as a rookie and finished out his four-year rookie deal.
He was testing unrestricted free agency when he signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the Buccaneers. He was set to earn a guaranteed salary of $7 million in 2023 when he ruptured his patellar tendon before the start of the season.
Tampa Bay released Gage this offseason and he signed with the Ravens early in training camp. From there, the Ravens released Gage back in August.
In 2022, Gage appeared in 13 games for the Buccaneers and caught 51 passes for 426 yards and five touchdowns.
