The San Francisco 49ers have an extra roster spot. Earlier in training camp, the team scooped up former Ravens and Raiders corner Anthony Averett.
Averett has barely been involved in training camp and on Thursday, he was released with an injury settlement.
That’s opened up a spot ahead of Saturday’s preseason game.
According to Aaron Wilson, the 49ers have worked out four players, most of whom are defensive linemen.
Here’s a glimpse at those four players:
- Ladarius Hamilton: Linebacker, age 25, originally undrafted in 2020 and signed by the Cowboys, played 9 combined games for the Packers over the past two seasons.
- Kenny Willekes: Defensive end, age 26, seventh-round pick out of Michigan State in 2020, spent 2020 and 2022 on injured reserve with the Vikings, played six games with 2.5 sacks in 2021.
- Isaiah Mack: Defensive tackle, age 27, originally undrafted in 2019 and signed with the Titans. Played 19 games for Tennessee over his first two seasons, a couple with the Patriots, then four games over the past two years with the Ravens.
- Tomase Laulile: Defensive tackle, age 28, played in the XFL last season, originally out of BYU.
It would seem unlikely any of those players would debut this weekend, but it’s possible.
