The San Francisco 49ers activated wide receiver Kendrick Bourne from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, the team announced.
The pass-catcher will play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, added Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Bourne was forced to miss San Francisco's 34-17 loss last Thursday to the Green Bay Packers after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, and left tackle Trent Williams also missed Week 9 due to being high-risk contacts to Bourne.
Bourne has since tested negative for COVID-19 twice.
The 25-year-old is third on the 49ers in catches (25) and receiving yards (352).
