Cowing available as receiver and punt returner; 49ers worked out punter for his benefit.

Available as a receiver option for the 49ers and serves as the team's punt returner. The 49ers worked out a right-footed punter specifically for Cowing's benefit as a punt returner, as Shanahan explained the importance of catching punts from consistent spin direction: 'Just the spin of the ball. Always seeing it turn one way. And then you get into a game, and it's turning the other way. It's similar with deep balls. When you catch from a left-handed quarterback and go to a right-handed quarterback. It's the same with punts. Catching punts is one of the hardest things in sports. You can't get enough work of it.'
