49ers signing QB Jacob Eason to practice squad ahead of Cardinals game

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the San Francisco 49ers are signing quarterback Jacob Eason to the practice squad ahead of the team's Monday night matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Mexico City. Eason was among several players who worked out for the 49ers on Monday.

The 49ers released quarterback Kurt Benkert to make room on the practice squad, which Benkert first reported.


The Indianapolis Colts made Eason a fourth-round draft pick out of Washington in 2020. He appeared in one game with the Colts (2021) and one game with the Carolina Panthers (2022), completing half of his 10 pass attempts for 84 yards and two interceptions. Eason also spent part of the 2021 season with the Seattle Seahawks.
