According to the transaction wire Wednesday, the 49ers hosted defensive lineman Marlon Davidson for a visit. Davidson was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons with the 47th overall pick out of Auburn. Davidson was waived earlier this season.
The Niners lost defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway to a pectoral injury that’ll sideline him for 6-8 weeks. In addition, Javon Kinlaw has yet to be activated, so there’s a void that needs to be filled along the interior.
Ridgeway has played 285 snaps for the 49ers' defense this season and given them plenty of production as far as eating double teams, holding his ground, and freeing up linebackers to run freely.
