The San Francisco 49ers brought back a familiar face to the practice squad. Shakel Brown, who was with the Niners in the spring when they signed him on May 14, was brought back. Brown was released on August 27.
Before his brief stint with the Niners, Brown was on the Injured Reserve for the 2023 season before being waived by the Tennesee Titans a week before San Francisco signed him. Brown signed with the Titans after the 2023 NFL Draft.
The 49ers could elect to elevate T.Y. McGill, who was the only other defensive tackle with NFL experience, for next week’s game against the New England Patriots.
