49ers sign defensive end to the practice squad; make 2 other roster moves

It’s officially game week. The San Francisco 49ers have the day off but will return to practice on Tuesday.

Per The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, the Niners made three moves on Monday morning. The team brought back edge rusher Sam Okuayinonu to the practice squad.

He played 65 snaps during the preseason, finishing with a sack and a run stop. The 6’1, 269-pounder was an undrafted free agent out of the University of Maryland in 2022. It’s not far-fetched to think Okuayinonu has a chance to be on the active roster early in the season, especially if Yetur Gross-Matos misses Week 1.
