NFL teams can officially begin signing players to their practice squads on Monday at 10 a.m. PT, which also marks the deadline for teams to submit waiver claims.
Each NFL team may establish a practice squad of up to 17 eligible players, including one international player who qualifies for a practice-squad exemption. Without that exemption, teams are limited to 16 practice squad players. Players on a practice squad may sign with another team only if they are joining that team's active 53-man roster.
Below is a list of players expected to sign with the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. This list will be updated as additional signings are reported.
