it's likely the end of the road for Brandin Cooks. It'll be interesting to see what happens with West. He's been out since Week 2. In Week 1, Gracen Halton was already outsnapping West. James Thompson only played one fewer snap than him. West played more than Thompson in Week 2, but still fell short of Halton and Osa Odighizuwa. Based on how things were before the season, West would take Sebastian Valdez's spot. But Valdez isn't this no-name off the practice squad anymore. He's played well in his role. You could argue he's given the defense more than West would have if he were healthy. Sigle rotated with Malik Mustapha and occasionally Ji'Ayir Brown before he went down with an injury. When he played, we didn't see the same rookie mistakes from Sigle that he made a year ago. For what the 49ers ask of their safeties and the speed element he brings to the table, Mustapha and Sigle might be their best duo

Kirk's presence could reshape 49ers receiver rotation; threatens Cooks' role

Kirk is in the mix for the 49ers wide receiver rotation. His presence, along with Jordan Watkins' playing time, could change the snap distribution among receivers and likely signals the end of the road for Brandin Cooks.
