The San Francisco 49ers have signed offensive lineman Brandon Parker to the practice squad. To make room on the practice squad, the team released offensive lineman Andre Dillard. Strangely, this is the opposite of Tuesday's roster moves, when the 49ers released Parker from the practice squad to add Dillard.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Parker (6-8, 320) was originally drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round (65th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft. Throughout his six-year career with the Raiders (2018-23), 49ers (2024-25), and Atlanta Falcons (2024-25), he has appeared in 59 games (33 starts) and started in one postseason contest. Parker signed with the Falcons' practice squad on August 27, 2025, and was released by the team on September 2. He was signed to the 49ers practice squad on September 17 before he was released on October 28.
A 30-year-old native of Kannapolis, NC, Parker attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University for five seasons (2013-17), where he started in 48 games. Parker was named the MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year in consecutive seasons (2015-16) and was a three-time All-MEAC selection (2015-17).
Dillard (6-5, 315) signed to the team's practice squad on October 28, 2025.
