The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have signed cornerback Terrance Mitchell to a one-year deal and officially placed punter Mitch Wishnowsky on the active/non-football injury (NFI) list.

Earlier today, general manager John Lynch informed reporters that Wishnowsky suffered a back injury while lifting weights before reporting to the team for training camp. The 49ers are not expected to sign a replacement punter for upcoming practices.

"It's nothing we're concerned about long-term, but with the back, you want those things to quiet down," Lynch said. "If you don't, they can become chronic. So we want to put that to rest, and we don't think it's too serious."

The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown of Mitchell.


Mitchell (5-11, 191) was originally drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round (254th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. Throughout his eight-year NFL career with the Cowboys, Chicago Bears (2015), Kansas City Chiefs (2016-17), Cleveland Browns (2018-20), Houston Texans (2021), and Tennessee Titans (2022), he has appeared in 94 games (56 starts) and registered 305 tackles, 1.0 sack, nine interceptions, 63 passes defensed, 10 forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Mitchell has also played in four postseason contests (three starts), tallying 14 tackles and one pass defensed.

In 2022, Mitchell appeared in 11 games (five starts) with the Titans and finished with 39 tackles, one interception, four passes defended, and one forced fumble.

A 31-year-old native of Sacramento, CA, Mitchell attended the University of Oregon (2011-13), where he appeared in 40 games (38 starts) and registered 144 tackles, seven interceptions, 25 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
