Former Cincinnati Bengals player McKinnley Jackson has signed with the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. Jackson, a third-round pick in 2024, struggled to make an impact with the Bengals and requested a trade last season. His signing follows a workout with the 49ers earlier this month, marking a new opportunity for his development. This move allows the Bengals to focus on their current roster, which includes players like Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen.
