The San Francisco 49ers suddenly find themselves with two open spots on their practice squad. We break down what this means.
The San Francisco 49ers promoted practice squad guard Andrew Tiller over the weekend, and now they have lost a second practice squad lineman. Tanner Hawkinson has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, replacing Julian Vandervelde as a reserve option, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan.
The move leaves the 49ers with two open practice squad spots. Tiller and Hawkinson were the only two offensive linemen on the practice squad, so my guess is the team fills at least one of those spots with another lineman.
