49ers make a change on defensive line ahead of Seattle visit

SANTA CLARA — Defensive lineman Anthony Zettel, a fourth-year journeyman, signed Monday with the 49ers ahead of Sunday night’s high-stakes visit to Seattle.

To make room, the 49ers waived Jeremiah Valoaga, who had a pass breakup in 19 snaps Saturday night in his most extensive action since getting summoned off the practice squad last month.

Zettel was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 17 after appearing in four games. He had 6 1/2 sacks in 2017 with the Detroit Lions, a year after they drafted him in the sixth round out of Penn State.
