The 49ers announced today that they have signed RB Chris Thompson and DL Eddie Yarbrough to the team’s practice squad. In order to make room on the practice squad, the team released TE Jordan Matthews.
The addition of Thompson and Yarbrough comes after running back JaMycal Hasty and defensive tackle Kevin Givens have both already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Green Bay. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, it is likely that both will be placed on the injured reserve.
San Francisco currently has only one running back on the active roster that is fully healthy, Trenton Cannon whom the team claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens last Wednesday, while Kerryon Johnson is on the teams practice squad.
