The San Francisco 49ers signed cornerback and return specialist Brandon Codrington to the practice squad on August 31, 2026. Codrington, an undrafted free agent who previously played for the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans, joins the NFC West roster following his departure from Houston. The Texans moved on from the defensive back as they finalized their 53-man roster, which currently carries five cornerbacks. In a separate roster move, the Houston Texans lost offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston to the Miami Dolphins via a waiver claim.
