San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Jordan Watkins continued his emergence with a touchdown catch against the Las Vegas Raiders, potentially easing the team's need for receiver depth ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
Watkins, wearing number 17, hauled in a scoring pass against Raiders cornerback Hezekiah Masses during the teams' matchup. The play was celebrated by Watkins and veteran teammate Demarcus Robinson.
The performance adds to Watkins' growing role in the 49ers offense and could influence the front office's decisions as the trade deadline approaches on November 9, 2026.
