Overview
- The 49ers added Garrett Wallow off waivers from the Broncos and placed left guard Ben Bartch on Injured Reserve to create a roster spot.
- Coack Kyle Shanahan indicated Week 15 against the Titans is likely too soon for linebacker Tatum Bethune as he recovers from a high-ankle injury.
- Wallow is expected to contribute immediately on special teams, aligning with his usage to date in Denver.
- The 2021 fifth-round pick logged 133 snaps for the Broncos with all but one on special teams and posted strong agility numbers at the NFL Combine.
- With Jalen Graham already elevated twice from the practice squad, the team could turn to Eric Kendricks for defensive snaps if Bethune remains out while Wallow focuses on special teams.
