The San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen, his agents confirmed Thursday.

He joins a team with an immediate need due to Brandon Aiyuk's pending trade status and first-round pick Ricky Pearsall's shoulder injury.

Chosen, 31, was formerly known as Robby/Robbie Anderson and Chosen Anderson. He has played for four NFL teams in eight seasons.

He has 379 career receptions for 5,082 yards and 30 touchdowns in 120 games (86 starts) with the New York Jets (2016-19), Carolina Panthers (2020-22), Arizona Cardinals (2022) and Miami Dolphins (2023).
