San Francisco initially signed Owens, the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, as an undrafted free agent. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network later reported that Owens has a small fracture in his right hand that will sideline him for about 5-7 weeks.

A 25-year-old native of Lutcher, LA, Kirklin attended Louisiana State University for five seasons (2017-21), where he appeared in 57 games (three starts) and registered 20 receptions for 313 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 13 carries for 67 yards.
Vaughn (5-10, 214) was originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round (76th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. Throughout his four-year NFL career, Vaughn has appeared in 43 games (one start) and registered 103 carries for 384 yards (3.7 average) and two touchdowns on the ground to go along with 14 receptions for 81 yards (5.8 average) and one touchdown through the air.
