The 49ers have signed defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko Jr. 📰: https://t.co/dAaq3fMDEF https://t.co/s5nESdxOTj

What happened: The agreement follows a Sunday workout for Fehoko. The move comes with one preseason game remaining before San Francisco sets its 53-man roster.

Why it matters: Fehoko has a narrow window to earn a role in the defensive-front rotation. San Francisco’s pass rush has managed multiple injuries during the preseason.

By the numbers: Fehoko was the No. He has yet to appear in an NFL game.

What to watch: His usage in the preseason finale will shape the upcoming roster decision.
