49ers sign edge rusher K.J. Henry to bolster defense

The San Francisco 49ers have signed K.J. Henry, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound edge rusher, to add depth to their defense. Henry, a fifth-round pick in 2023 by the Washington Commanders, has also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles. The 49ers seek to strengthen their edge rusher position following injuries to projected starters Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams. Both Bosa and Williams are recovering from ACL injuries, prompting the need for additional support in the upcoming training camp in Santa Clara. Henry's collegiate accolades include a national championship at Clemson, where he was named All-ACC in 2022.
