"Ezekiel Turner gets a one year deal with #49ers with prime opportunity to showcase skill at Iinebacker and as a core special teams contributor," Wilson wrote via social media.
The Arizona Cardinals signed Turner (6-2, 214) as an undrafted free agent out of Washington in 2018. He recorded 20 tackles in 16 game appearances (one start) with the Cardinals last season, per Pro Football Reference.
A key special teams player over his career, Turner played 328 special teams snaps in 2022 and 345 in 2023. While the 49ers lost linebacker Oren Burks to the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency, they signed De'Vondre Campbell and re-signed Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.
Turner, 27, has recorded 83 tackles, including three for a loss, in 80 game appearances (three starts) over his six NFL seasons, all spent with the Cardinals.
