49ers Sign Four-Time Pro Bowler Amid Rash of Injuries
The four-time Pro Bowler adds depth after injuries left the 49ers thin on the defensive line.
On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers signed 4X Pro Bowler Matthew Judon to their practice squad following a recent workout with the team.
Injuries have decimated the 49ers' defensive front this month, with star defensive end Nick Bosa suffering a calf injury last week and rotational starters Romello Height and James Thompson Jr. also sidelined.
Judon reunites with 49ers Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris, his former head coach with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, bringing 72 sacks across 145 games in his 10-year NFL career.
Per ESPN, the 49ers plan to provide Judon an "early chance for elevation" to the active roster, allowing him to potentially contribute in the coming weeks as he adapts to the system.
Facing a 3-0 start, San Francisco prepares to play the Denver Broncos in Week 4, hoping the veteran addition provides necessary depth amid the ongoing defensive injuries.
