To make room on the roster, the 49ers waived defensive lineman Alex Barrett.
San Francisco is set to begin organized team activities (OTAs) next week, marking the next phase of their offseason program.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.

Jones has also spent time on the practice squads of the Carolina Panthers (2019), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020), and Detroit Lions (2024).
In 2024, Joseph appeared in eight games with the Giants, Commanders, and Jets and connected on 16 of his 20 field goal attempts (80.0 percent) and all 11 of his extra point attempts.
