Overview
- The 49ers confirmed late Wednesday that they signed running back Zamir White to a one-year deal after his workout with the team.
- San Francisco also added cornerback Eli Apple and defensive lineman Xavier Thomas and cleared roster space by waiving wide receiver Junior Bergen, punter Jack Bouwmeester, and waive/injured K.J. Henry.
- The moves respond to a shallow running-back room with Christian McCaffrey sidelined for tightness and backups Jordan James, Kaelon Black, and Isaac Guerendo all dealing with injuries that limit preseason availability.
- White arrives with four NFL seasons and 45 games of experience and will likely compete as a change-of-pace or short-yardage option while trying to earn playing time on special teams.
- The signings reflect typical camp roster churn ahead of final cuts and set up a short evaluation window in padded practices and preseason games that will determine which veterans stay on the 53-man roster.
