Where it stands
The release indicated the signings filled part of the squad's maximum limit. Later that evening, New York Giants activity dominated coverage.
SNY reported the re‑signing of wide receivers Jalin Hyatt and Braxton Berrios, while ESPN noted Berrios is expected to play in the season opener. Yahoo Sports and Big Blue View confirmed additional players joined the Giants' practice squad, bringing their roster to the required size.
Niners Nation later stated the 49ers added three more players, leaving one spot open, a detail that conflicts with the earlier report of four signings. The discrepancy highlights differing counts across outlets, but all sources agree the 49ers still have a single vacancy on their practice squad.
