San Francisco 49ers

The 28-year-old has started at cornerback for the 49ers over the past two seasons and was released by the organization in April

UPDATE: The 49ers released a statement just an hour after linebacker Donavin Newsom was transported to Stanford Hospital via ambulance after being knocked unconscious during training camp on Tuesday.

The 49ers added a Sacramento native to their 90-man roster on Tuesday morning.

Last week, Brian Hoyer mentioned on KNBR that for the first time in his career he’s entering training camp with a starting job, and that not looking over his shoulder has helped his confidence.

All those red flags about Foster? The incident at the combine with a medical worker? The diluted drug sample? Those are ancient history. He’s going to be on the field early in 2017, and that could be the best thing for both him and the 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have signed a rookie LB to a two-year deal and placed LB Malcolm Smith on the Injured Reserve List.

49ers training camp is in full swing. Our Senior Writer Kevin Jones joined Larry Krueger on the latest episode of The Krueg Show podcast from Santa Clara, and broke down the 49ers’ roster position by position as the first preseason game approaches.

Players have said shedding pounds has given the team more endurance. Shanahan and John Lynch required several key members of the team to come back weighing as light as they ever have in the NFL

The force of Hyde knocked Witherspoon off his feet and onto the turf — completely de-cleated. It was a Madden truck-stick moment, and one that had offensive players screaming in excitement. Number 28 ended the scene with a flex.
