Jaguars Sign German Lineman Kilian Zierer to Practice Squad After 49ers Release

The 25-year-old joins Jacksonville via the NFL's International Player Pathway.

Overview

  • San Francisco released Zierer from its practice squad earlier this week following a late-August signing.
  • Jacksonville announced his addition to the practice squad in a team statement.
  • Zierer had held the 49ers’ International Player Pathway slot, which the team reassigned to Isaac Alarcon.
  • The IPP designation does not count against the practice-squad limit, and Alarcon had recently served a six-game NFL suspension for a drug-policy violation.
  • Before landing in Jacksonville, Zierer had brief 2025 stints with the Falcons and Browns and spent 2023–24 on the Texans’ practice squad.
