The San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive tackle Evan Anderson, filling the roster spot of waived/injured Titus Leo. Anderson previously played for the 49ers in 2024 as an undrafted rookie and is expected to contribute, especially with Gracen Halton recovering from an ankle injury. Rookie running back Kaelon Black, who recently returned from an adductor injury, is set to practice fully as the team prepares for a joint session with the Los Angeles Chargers. His return is timely as the team's depth at running back is being assessed amid concerns over Christian McCaffrey's muscle tightness.
