49ers officially announce signing of potential Jordan Mason replacement

The San Francisco 49ers haven't been very active in free agency, but they did manage to bring back a handful of their own free agents.

One of those free agent signings was running back Patrick Taylor III. The club officially announced his one-year contract Friday.

Taylor joined the 49ers last offseason as a free agent from the Green Bay Packers. He was on the roster until Christian McCaffrey returned from his Achilles injury. Taylor was released and re-signed to the practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster again when McCaffrey went down in Week 13 with a knee injury.
