The team is also working out a tight end, who Lynch did not name, and hopes to sign someone for that position soon.
Last year's starting center, Weston Richburg, is starting training camp on the 49ers' "physically unable to perform" (PUP) list. The addition of Day gives the team some depth at the position.

Day was a rookie with the Broncos during their Super Bowl 50 run.
