On Tuesday, the 49ers signed former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown, who had torn his Achilles in December 2022. head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged that it’d be difficult for Brown to be ready to go by Thursday’s game against the Giants. Sure enough, the team released Brown before the start of the game.
On Friday afternoon, the 49ers announced that they’ve re-signed Brown to the active roster. Tre Swilling was the corresponding move in the previous transactions involving Brown, and that didn’t change on Friday. San Francisco waived Brown, who will likely return to the 49ers practice squad if he clears waivers.
