What happened: The San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran defensive tackle Naquan Jones off the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad. The addition bolsters the interior defensive line rotation with an experienced option.

Why it matters: San Francisco required immediate reinforcement up front amid early-season roster attrition. The move provides a necessary depth piece following the placement of C.J. West on injured reserve.

What to watch: Jones will join the active roster and integrate into the defensive scheme. The front office may continue exploring depth additions as the season progresses.
