The San Francisco 49ers announced they have signed DL Naquan Jones to a one-year deal and signed WR Brandin Cooks and DL

What happened: Defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko Jr. joins the practice unit. The corresponding move saw C.J. West placed on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Brandin Cooks is sitting just 189 yards shy of the 10,000 career receiving yards milestone. The veteran addition provides immediate insurance for a receiver room currently dealing with multiple injuries.
