This move comes as the team continues to shuffle depth ahead of Week 8. On Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reported that the 49ers re-signed tight end Brayden Willis to the practice squad. A day later, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 added that San Francisco is signing linebacker Stone Blanton to the practice squad.
Tight end George Kittle recently returned from a hamstring injury after spending time on injured reserve, bolstering the team's offensive depth at the position.
The 49ers are coming off a statement win over the Atlanta Falcons and have shifted their focus to preparations for their Week 8 matchup against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on Sunday.
