What happened: Cooks moves onto the 53-man roster eight days after joining San Francisco. Turner takes a practice-squad spot, while Hodge exits in the same receiver-room shuffle.
Why it matters: Cooks gives San Francisco another veteran option after the 49ers turned to him as receiver injuries mount. The move keeps a 3-0 team cycling through wideout depth early in the regular season.
By the numbers: San Francisco signed Cooks on Sept. 23, and the promotion came eight days later. He entered the NFL as the No.
What to watch: Cooks is now in line for San Francisco's next game-day roster decision. Turner becomes a practice-squad elevation option if the receiver shuffle continues.
