The San Francisco 49ers have signed RB Jeremy McNichols to the team's practice squad and released TE Troy Fumagalli. The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Marlon Davidson entered the league with high expectations after a productive career at Auburn, but he was unable to translate his success to the NFL level in his first home.
That means the 49ers must free up two spots on their roster. The 49ers signed three players Monday morning, which means they will need to release two others to get below the 90-man roster limit.
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signings of QB Brandon Allen, DL Marlon Davidson, and TE Troy Fumagalli to one-year deals. Allen's signing was initially reported last week but became official on Monday.
The 49ers made a back-of-the-roster transaction earlier in 2022 by inking Troy Fumagalli, but a deep crop of tight ends automatically makes him a long shot.
The 49ers are once again looking to bolster their tight end depth. A week after adding TE Troy Fumagalli, they’re set to add former Jets TE Tyler Kroft on a one-year deal, via his agent Mike McCartney.
With the deadline for the reduction of NFL rosters to 85 players set at 4:00pm Tuesday, the New England Patriots were required to make one more move to be in compliance with the League’s directive.
