The San Francisco 49ers will activate the two players on their NFI and PUP lists. We break down what it means.
The San Francisco 49ers return to practice this week, and they will welcome back a pair of players from their injured lists. Center Daniel Kilgore and wide receiver DeAndre Smelter will return to practice from the PUP list and NFI list, respectively.
Jim Tomsula announced the returns, but it remains to be seen when or if either will be added back to the 53-man roster. Smelter seems highly unlikely to get activated to the 53-man roster, but he will at least get some time to show what he can do with his teammates.
