The San Francisco 49ers signed defensive lineman Nesta Jade Silvera to their practice squad, releasing Jonathan Garvin in the process to make room for him.
Silvera was drafted in the seventh round by the Raiders and has had a two-year career playing nine games, highlighted by ten tackles across both seasons.
At 24 years old, Silvera brings a strong college background to the 49ers, with 53 games played and notable statistics including 161 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Garvin, who was 6-4 and 257 pounds, originally joined the 49ers practice squad earlier this month, but was released to accommodate Silvera.
