The San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive lineman Shakel Brown to a one-year deal. To make room on the roster, the team released tight end Ross Dwelley.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Brown (6-3, 295) originally entered the NFL after signing with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent on May 12, 2023. After spending the 2023 season on the Injured Reserve List, he was waived by the Titans on May 7, 2024. In 2024, Brown spent time on the 49ers and Miami Dolphins practice squads.
A 26-year-old native of Miami, FL, Brown attended Highlands Community College (2018) and Itawamba Community College (2019) before transferring to Troy University for three years (2020-22) where he appeared in 29 games (17 starts) and registered 58 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one pass defensed.
Dwelley (6-5, 235) originally signed with the team on May 2, 2025.
