The San Francisco 49ers brought in five linebackers for workouts this week, according to the NFL transaction wire, as the team prepares for its Week 7 clash with the Atlanta Falcons at Levi's Stadium.
Tryouts:
The workouts come as the 49ers continue to shuffle their roster following several key moves on Saturday. San Francisco activated tight end George Kittle and defensive tackle Kevin Givens from injured reserve, while placing star linebacker Fred Warner on injured reserve.
The team also reached an injury settlement with wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was placed on injured reserve Friday after suffering a calf injury in practice.
The 49ers will host the Falcons on Sunday Night Football as they look to bounce back from a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and improve to 5-2 on the season.
