Velus Jones Jr., Dante Pettis and Tyler Scott do not have a clear path to playing time at wide receiver.

All three players are in competition to be the No. 4 pass-catcher, but more importantly, they could be fighting for the kick and punt returner job.

Jones filled that role for the last two seasons, but he has had a few fumbles and return mistakes in his career.

Pettis averaged seven or more yards per return in two of his NFL seasons, but his biggest issue has been staying healthy.

Scott may be a better fit for the No. 4 wide out role because of the promise he displayed last season, but with D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze on the roster, his best chance to make an impact may be in the return role.
