The San Francisco 49ers attempted to add a fullback to their roster. Field Yates of ESPN reports that the team put in a claim for former Kansas City Chiefs fullback John Lovett. The Green Bay Packers, however, were awarded Lovett on Thursday.
CB Ryan Lewis, claimed by Washington yesterday, was a popular player on waivers as both the Giants and Panthers tried to claim him as well.
FB John Lovett, claimed by the Packers, was also on the 49ers' radar as they attempted to claim the former Chief.
The Chiefs released Lovett on Wednesday. He was a quarterback for Princeton in college. The Chiefs signed Lovett as an undrafted free agent in 2019, converting him to a hybrid who could potentially contribute at fullback, running back, and even tight end.
Lovett landed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury after one preseason appearance with the Chiefs.
San Francisco has two fullbacks on its roster — starter Kyle Juszczyk and rookie Josh Hokit. The team continues to seek help for All-Pro tight end George Kittle, and has reportedly had internal discussions about the possibility of adding veteran Delanie Walker or Jordan Reed.
