The San Francisco 49ers announced on Saturday that defensive back Tyvis Powell has been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster. To make room on the roster, the team released linebacker Terence Garvin.
Powell will wear jersey number 30.
The 49ers may be without safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
Powell was originally signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Ohio State in 2016. During his rookie season, he appeared in eight games and had three combined tackles before being released on January 4, 2017.
Powell spent last offseason with the Cleveland Browns and the Indianapolis Colts before re-signing with Seattle on September 19, 2017, as a member of its practice squad. He was released by the Seahawks on October 24, 2017, and signed to the 49ers practice squad on November 1, 2017.
Powell appeared in three games with the 49ers last season after being promoted to the active roster on December 16, 2017. He finished the season with three tackles on defense and two on special teams.
The 49ers
signed Garvin on September 12. He registered one special teams tackle last week in the win over the Detroit Lions.

Opening comments:
"This to me, there's nothing like watching our guys compete on Sundays or Thursdays or Mondays. We play a lot of different days now, but nothing like watching our guys compete. But to me, this is really my favorite time of year as an organization because I think it represents our organization coming together and working for a common goal as much as anything we do. When you look at the guys I call our
Brock Purdy hopes to organize throwing session ahead of 49ers training camp
The San Francisco 49ers will hold a mandatory minicamp from June 4 through 6, officially concluding the team's offseason program. After that, the Niners will break for over a month and return to the Santa Clara facilities for training camp in late July.
Between that time, starting quarterbacks will often organize throwing sessions with their receivers in an effort to build chemistry ahead of the rigors of training camp. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been unable to participate in such sessions over the last two years. The last overall draft pick in 2022, Purdy had yet to make a name for himself during his first offseason. Last year, he was still recovering from offseason surgery on his throwing arm.

49ers offer Deebo Samuel assurances regarding roster status
Amidst swirling trade rumors surrounding Brandon Aiyuk, the speculation surrounding Deebo Samuel's future with the San Francisco 49ers seems to have quieted down.
According to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle, the 49ers have assured Samuel that he will not be involved in any pre- or post-draft transactions, ensuring his place on the roster for the time being.
"Samuel, who signed a three-year, $71.55 million extension before the 2022 season, has been assured by his bosses that he will not be dealt during or after the draft," Silver reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

49ers mailbag: Will Brandon Aiyuk be on the roster on Friday morning? Will SF draft another quarterback?
We're just over 24 hours before round one of the NFL Draft begins. The San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to have their first pick in the opening round since 2021 when they drafted Trey Lance. That didn't turn out well, but there is optimism that the team will be able to make its roster better over the next few days.
GM John Lynch spoke on Monday and said there's a possibility the team could trade out of the first round. I doubt that would go over well with the fanbase, especially since they haven't had a first-rounder in the past two years. But if it's a good trade that lands the 49ers some quality picks, we could see that happen, especially if there aren't any players at pick 31 that the team is excited about.
