Overview

  • San Francisco announced a one-year deal for Nate Sudfeld and moved Patrick Taylor Jr. to injured reserve after the running back dislocated his shoulder against the Raiders.
  • Mac Jones did not practice Tuesday with a reported knee issue that is not believed to be serious, a development that helps explain the timing of Sudfeld’s addition.
  • Sudfeld will compete with Carter Bradley for the No. 3 quarterback spot behind Brock Purdy and Jones as the team finalizes its depth chart.
  • The NFL transaction wire shows the 49ers worked out four players on Monday, including WRs Colton Dowell, Jalen Guyton, J. J. Jones and Sudfeld at quarterback.
  • The club reached an injury settlement with defensive end Bradlee Anae, removing him from injured reserve and the roster.
