49ers Host Shilo Sanders for Tryout as They Add William Bradley-King to Practice Squad

The workouts reflect San Francisco’s search for low-cost defensive depth following Nick Bosa’s torn ACL.

Overview

  • San Francisco brought in six defenders for Tuesday evaluations, including defensive back Shilo Sanders, edge rushers William Bradley-King and Titus Leo, safeties Brandon Joseph and Jaylen Mahoney, and linebacker Isaiah Thomas.
  • Multiple reports say the 49ers are signing defensive end William Bradley-King to the practice squad after his recent stint in their camp and previous NFL action with Washington.
  • There is no indication that Shilo Sanders was offered a contract, with his workout serving as a showcase that could lead to a practice-squad opportunity.
  • The tryouts come as the 3-0 49ers manage early-season injuries on defense, highlighted by Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear suffered against Arizona.
  • Sanders went undrafted in 2025, signed with the Buccaneers, and was waived after a preseason ejection for throwing a punch that drew a $4,669 fine.
