Bruce Will Return To Niners For 16th Nfl Season

Receiver Isaac Bruce is postponing retirement for another season with the San Francisco 49ers. Bruce, the second-leading receiver in NFL history with 14,944 yards, informed coach Mike Singletary on Wednesday of his decision to return for his 16th NFL season. He missed the 49ers' minicamp last month while contemplating retirement, but his return is a major boost to a San Francisco offense that would have lacked a top receiver.
