The move comes amid uncertainty surrounding defensive end Nick Bosa, who is managing a hip and oblique injury that could jeopardize his availability for the upcoming game.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Garvin (6-4, 257) was originally drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round (242nd overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Garvin most recently signed to the 49ers practice squad on October 2, 2024, and was released from the practice squad on October 24.
A 25-year-old native of Lake Worth Beach, FL, Garvin attended the University of Miami (2017-19), where he appeared in 38 games (24 starts) and registered 106 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, five passes defensed and four forced fumbles.
