It’s a make-or-break year for Pettis, who fell so far out of the coaching staff’s good graces that he was inactive for the Super Bowl and didn’t take a snap after Week 12. That dramatically reduces his margin for error in camp this year. If he plays well — he’ll make the team and have a role. If he doesn’t — it’s very likely the team moves on from the 2018 second-round pick. With Deebo Samuel slated to be out for training camp, Pettis will get plenty of opportunities to step back into the role he took on late in a successful rookie season.
