49ers Announce Three Practice Squad Moves

San Francisco’s practice squad now includes:

1. CB​ Eli Apple
2. WR Junior Bergen
3. DB​ Derrick Canteen
4. WR​ Robbie Chosen
5. DL​ Trevis Gipson
6. LB​ Jalen Graham
7. OL​ Drake Nugent
8. LB​ Curtis Robinson
9. WR​ Malik Turner
10. DL ​Sebastian Valdez
11. TE​ Brayden Willis
12. G Nick Zakelj
13. RB Sincere McCormick
14. QB Adrian Martinez
15. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
16. DL Evan Anderson
17. OL Kilian Zierer

Matt Barrows notes that Zierer is from Germany and is part of the NFL’s International Pathway Program, which allows San Francisco to keep 17 players on their practice squad. 

Anderson, 23, signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic following the 2024 draft. He was let go after training camp and spent the season on the practice squad.

Anderson was promoted to the active roster twice before being signed to the 53-man roster in October. San Francisco re-signed him as an exclusive rights free agent in April, but he was among their final roster cuts. 

In 2024, Anderson appeared in 12 games for the 49ers and recorded 24 total tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
