Banged up 49ers may turn to Swain

The Columbian
Published:

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Wide receiver Brett Swain didn’t take it personally when the Green Bay Packers released him with two weeks left in training camp.

Having landed in San Francisco with a team that could pose the biggest threat to the defending Super Bowl champs in the playoffs has made it easier to handle.

Now Swain — who has just one catch this season — has a chance to make an even bigger impact on the 49ers postseason than he did a year ago when he helped the Packers to their first championship in 14 years.

With San Francisco’s receiving group depleted by injuries and the team’s decision to release veteran Braylon Edwards, offensive coordinator Greg Roman hinted that Swain may start in Sunday’s regular season finale in St. Louis.
