The San Francisco 49ers signed running back Khalil Herbert to a one-year deal on August 2, 2026. They also added defensive end Titus Leo, a sixth-round pick by the Colts in 2023, who has limited experience. To accommodate the new signings, the team waived cornerback Eli Apple and placed Mikail Kamara on injured reserve after his injury during practice. Herbert’s arrival follows an injury to Jordan James, who sustained fractured ribs, and he is expected to provide depth in the backfield during the preseason.
