Johnnie Morton

12/9/2005

Morton did not practice with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday so he could undergo a precautionary MRI on his sore Achilles. The veteran receiver hopes to return to the field on Friday and be ready for Sunday's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. In 12 games this season, he has 20 catches for 260 yards and no touchdowns.

Morton has reported feeling better over the last couple of days, and he expects to be available for Sunday's meeting with the Eagles in Philadelphia. The 49ers' veteran receiver was unable to return to the lineup after suffering a concussion when he was tackled by the Rams' DeJuan Groce in the first half of Sunday's season-opening victory over St. Louis. He had one catch for 30 yards prior to his departure.

Free-agent wide receiver Johnnie Morton signed with the 49ers on Tuesday, agreeing to a two-year deal for an undisclosed amount. The 11-year veteran was released by the Chiefs on June 2 after he refused to take a pay cut on his remaining $3 million salary. The signing reunites Morton with San Francisco receivers coach Jerry Sullivan, who was Morton's position coach in Detroit for four seasons. Morton produced four 1,000-yard seasons from 1997-2001 for the Lions.

6/2/2005

In a salary cap move, the Kansas City Chiefs have cut ties with Morton, waiving the veteran receiver on Thursday. Morton, who was scheduled to earn $3 million in 2005, spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions before playing for the Chiefs the last three. He finished the 2004 campaign with 55 catches for 795 yards and three touchdowns, but was limited to 13 games by a knee injury.
