The San Francisco 49ers have elevated defensive lineman Austin Bryant and cornerback Kendall Sheffield from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys
It will be the second elevation from the practice squad for both players, as the 49ers look to add potential depth at both defensive end and cornerback.
The 49ers are down a defensive lineman as newly-added edge rusher Randy Gregory will be inactive for Sunday’s game, with the team cutting defensive end Kerry Hyder to make room for the trade to be processed.
As a result, it was expected that San Francisco would call up an extra defensive lineman and Bryant earned the nod after last suiting up for the 49ers in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
