The move comes after Robbie Gould suffered a knee contusion during Sunday's 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers.
"He has some swelling. We'll see how it goes throughout the week," head coach Kyle Shanahan noted on Monday before adding that the 49ers planned to work out kickers, just in case.
Sloman, 25, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 after playing college football at Miami (OH). He has also spent time with the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sloman has made 10 of his 13 field goal attempts and 23 of his 26 extra-point attempts over his career. He has also averaged 64.5 yards on 37 kickoffs.
