49ers news: Jalen Graham re-signs with the Niners on a one-year contract

The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have brought back 2023 7th round draft pick Jalen Graham on a one-year contract.

Fred Warner is dealing with an ankle injury every day, so perhaps this is insurance for Warner during the week in case he can't practice.

However, this move is more related to Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, who had to leave Sunday's game late with an undisclosed injury. Kyle Shanahan didn't mention DFF's injury during Monday's conference call, so it's unclear whether Flannigan-Fowles is OK or not.

Graham is a familiar face who can integrate into any practice situation with relative ease. After being released by the 49ers on August 27th, he was acquired by the Washington Commanders the next day and has been on their practice squad ever since.

We'll have a better idea on Wednesday whether this is related to Warner or Flannigan-Fowles' injuries when Shanahan holds his first press conference.

The 49ers have a vacant roster spot, meaning it's unlikely the team will open Ricky Pearsall's practice window. Shanahan said he fully expects the window to open for defensive tackle Kalia Davis. He also said that Davis was close to returning.
