Overview

  • San Francisco brought in six defenders for workouts Tuesday, including defensive back Shilo Sanders, per the NFL’s official personnel notice.
  • Edge rusher William Bradley-King is joining the 49ers’ practice squad, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, after spending part of training camp with the team.
  • The other tryout participants were defensive ends Titus Leo and Bradley-King, defensive backs Brandon Joseph and Jaylen Mahoney, and linebacker Isaiah Thomas.
  • Sanders went undrafted in 2025, signed with the Buccaneers, and was waived after a preseason ejection for throwing a punch, which also drew a $4,669 fine.
  • There is no indication the 49ers plan to sign Sanders at this time, with the workout serving as an evaluation for possible practice-squad consideration.
