49ers sign Viliami Fehoko, release Josiah Deguara ahead of preseason finale

The San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive end Viliami Fehoko as part of a roster adjustment ahead of their final preseason game. In a corresponding move, the team released tight end Josiah Deguara. Fehoko, originally a fourth-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2023, has struggled with injuries that limited his rookie season and subsequent opportunities with various practice squads. The 49ers aimed to bolster their defensive line depth with Fehoko, especially with rookie DE Romello Height nursing an injury. Deguara's release comes as the team has gained tight end depth with the return of George Kittle, though he may be limited initially.
