The San Francisco 49ers have brought back a recently released cornerback to their practice squad, according to a report from SB Nation. The move comes as the team continues to adjust its defensive back depth during the 2026 NFL season.
The transaction was reported Wednesday by Kyle Posey of SB Nation. The cornerback, whose name was not disclosed in the initial report, had been released by the 49ers earlier before being re-signed to the practice squad roster.
Practice squad moves are common throughout the NFL season as teams manage injuries, evaluate talent, and maintain roster flexibility. The 49ers' decision to re-sign the player suggests they value his familiarity with the defensive scheme and want to keep him available for potential elevation to the active roster.
