49ers re-sign OT Sam Young to a one-year deal, place WR Trent Taylor on injured reserve

The San Francisco 49ers announced that the team has re-signed offensive tackle Sam Young to a one-year deal. To make room on the roster, the 49ers have placed wide receiver Trent Taylor on injured reserve.

Young's addition comes after the 49ers lost Joe Staley for six to eight weeks after the starting left tackle suffered a broken fibula during Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Young, 32, was initially signed by the 49ers on August 12 after the loss of swing tackle Shon Coleman (ankle, fibula) for the season. He was waived as part of the team's 53-player roster cut-down on August 31.

The Cowboys made Young a sixth-round selection out of Notre Dame in 2010. Young has 88 game appearances and 21 starts through his nine NFL seasons. He appeared in 22 games with seven starts for the Miami Dolphins over the last two seasons.

Taylor underwent surgery to repair a fracture in his foot on August 9. The wide receiver complained of discomfort following a practice the day before, and an X-ray revealed the injury. The 49ers initially felt Taylor's recovery time would be in the four- to six-week range. It has now been six weeks since the initial injury.

Taylor is a candidate to return from injured reserve and begin practicing with the team in six weeks and could be added to the active roster after eight weeks.

The 49ers made Taylor a fifth-round selection out of Louisiana Tech in 2017. He registered 26 receptions for 215 yards with a touchdown through 14 games, and no starts with the 49ers in 2018. Taylor has caught 69 passes for 645 yards with three touchdowns through his two NFL seasons and was one of the team's most consistent receivers during offseason practices this year.

Is new 49ers backup QB Josh Dobbs an upgrade over Sam Darnold?

By Marc Adams

In 2022, the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback spot. They had second-year player, and first-year starter Trey Lance, who they had traded the world away to draft. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, the team's starting QB from late 2017-2021, as Lance's backup. And they had a seventh-round draft pick in Brock Purdy, though he would be unlikely to play. Or so we thought. After Lance and Garoppolo went down, Purdy surprised everyone by keeping the ship afloat and leading the 49ers back to the NFC Championship Game. But after an injury to the UCL in his throwing arm, Purdy's 2023 season was in jeopardy. Which quarterbacks the 49ers would take to training camp was now even more important. They still had Lance, but they added Brandon Allen and

At the start of free agency, the San Francisco 49ers signed defensive end Leonard Floyd to a two-year deal worth $20 million, with $12 million guaranteed. It has been the team's most significant offseason move thus far. OverTheCap.com recently revealed Floyd's contract details. While the deal may be for two years, three void years are attached to the contract, allowing the defensive end's $10.79 million signing bonus to be spread through 2028. Floyd's impact in 2024 is minimal. He is scheduled to earn a guaranteed $1.21 million base salary and count only $3.418 million against this year's salary cap.

49ers see impending mega-deal for Brock Purdy as a 'good problem'

The San Francisco 49ers are actively working to sign wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a contract extension, aiming to maintain their talented young core of players. The team has reached agreements with star players during each of the last four offseasons, securing George Kittle in 2020, Fred Warner in 2021, Deebo Samuel in 2022, and Nick Bosa in 2023. Another key contributor poised for a new deal next offseason is quarterback Brock Purdy. Over the last couple of years, the 49ers have been in the unique position of not having to pay much money (relatively) to stock their quarterback room while reaping the benefits of superb play from their starting signal-caller.
