What happened: The San Francisco 49ers signed cornerback Jack Jones to their practice squad Wednesday. San Francisco had previously released Jones on Oct. 28 before bringing him back to bolster depth in the secondary.
Why it matters: San Francisco holds the top seed in the NFC with a 7-1 record after a 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Adding familiar coverage options solidifies the back end of the defense as the 49ers protect their conference lead through the second half of the season.
By the numbers: Jones logged 77 tackles and one interception in 17 games last season (2025) with the Dolphins.
What to watch: San Francisco prepares for Week 11 as Jones begins practice work with the scout team.
