The San Francisco 49ers have signed offensive tackle Charlie Heck off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad. A five-year veteran who has made 21 career starts at offensive tackle, Heck will give the Niners some immediate offensive line depth after the unit was depleted by injuries. Heck was a fourth-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2020 out of UNC. (Niners Nation)
