said<\/a> the Niners tried to include Bourne in any Brandon Aiyuk deals last summer. Given the current state of the wide receiver room, a Bourne reunion feels inevitable.<\/p>\nThe Patriots used Bourne more as an outside receiver than a slot. That wasn\u2019t the case when he was with the 49ers. Ricky Pearsall is the only true outside receiver that\u2019s healthy, but it\u2019s a problem the 49ers can figure out on the fly. They can get by with Bourne and Jennings for a couple of games until Demarcus Robinson returns. Bourne is a massive upgrade from the other wideouts on the roster.<\/p>\n
Bourne is a vested veteran, so he\u2019s free to sign to any team.<\/p>\n
Kyle\u2019s update, 9:38 a.m. PT: <\/strong>Seventh-rounder Junior Bergen is signing with the practice squad once he clears waivers, per NFL Network\u2019s Mike Garafolo. Bergen was the only draft pick from the 2025 class that the Niners waived.<\/p>\nKyle\u2019s update, 9:59 a.m. PT: <\/strong>The 49ers claimed defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jefferson was a fourth-round pick out of LSU in the 2024 NFL Draft. Jefferson is more of a nose tackle at 6\u20194\u201d, 317 pounds. Jefferson had four run stops in 32 snaps this preseason. He played 151 snaps for Jacksonville last year. It\u2019s worth noting that all of those came after Week 6. The most snaps Jefferson played in a game were 35.<\/p>\nMatt Maiocco reports that Sebastian Valdez is signing to the practice squad.<\/p>\n
None of the players the 49ers released were claimed.<\/p>\n
Kyle\u2019s update, 10:24 a.m. PT: <\/strong>Jeff Wilson is signing with the Miami Dolphins practice squad, per Adam Schefter.<\/p>\nPer Matt Barrows, the 49ers are bringing back rookie safety Derrick Canteen to the practice squad.<\/p>\n
Kyle\u2019s update, 11:17 a.m. PT: <\/strong>The Patriots waived wide receiver Javon Baker, who the team drafted in the fourth round in 2024. Baker did a whole lot of nothing as a rookie. He had one reception for 12 yards and three kick returns. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\nBaker tested like a subpar athlete. His 10-yard split and 40-yard dash were in the 34th and 35th percentiles. In college, Baker relied on acrobatic contested catches and timing routes for his production. He\u2019s a receiver the 49ers should be interested in.<\/p>\n
Per Vic Tafur, the 49ers are signing former Raiders running back Sincere McCormick to their practice squad. McCormick had 39 carries for 183 yards last season with the Raiders. He also caught six passes for 29 yards.<\/p>\n
McCormick tore his ACL and LCL in 2022. When he returned last year, an ankle injury ended his 2024 season.<\/p>\n
The 49ers got a long look at McCormick during their joint practices earlier this month. He must\u2019ve impressed the coaching staff that day.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Chazz Surratt signed with the Seattle Seahawks\u2019 practice squad.<\/p>\n
Kyle\u2019s update, 2:20 p.m. PT: <\/strong>John Lynch says former Jets quarterback Adrian Martinez is en route to the Bay Area and will be the 49ers\u2019 practice squad quarterback. Martinez is mobile and can mimic Sam Darnold, Spencer Rattler, and Kyler Murray \u2014 the three quarterbacks the defense will see to begin the season.<\/p>\n400 Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019ll be interesting once we find out which players the San Francisco 49ers claimed.
