NFL rumors: 49ers sign Jaron Brown, add more depth to receivers group

The 49ers reportedly have signed yet another veteran receiver.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that San Francisco has signed Jaron Brown. The signing comes two days after it was confirmed young receiver Jalen Hurd tore his ACL in training camp.

49ers are signing former Seahawks’ WR Jaron Brown, per source. Brown joins JJ Nelson and Tavon Austin as the third WR to sign with SF since camp opened. SF lost WR Jalen Hurd earlier this week to a season-ending torn ACL.
