Overview
- The 49ers recorded a visit for free-agent defensive end Jah Joyner on the NFL transaction/tryout report and have not signed him.
- Joyner entered the league as an undrafted signing with the Las Vegas Raiders after the 2025 draft and played a full 2026 UFL season with the Houston Gamblers.
- At 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds, Joyner produced 12 sacks, 50 tackles and 13 tackles for loss across his final two college seasons at Minnesota and tested well at the 2025 combine.
- San Francisco has worked out several external edge options, including Viliami Fehoko, Ron Stone and Diwun Black, because several top edge players are unavailable and rookie Romello Height is dealing with an ankle issue.
- Visits like Joyner’s are routine late-preseason due diligence and could lead to a signing for short-term pass-rush depth depending on injuries and final decisions after the preseason finale.
