The 49ers are reportedly adding depth to their defensive line.

San Francisco signed former Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Shakel Brown after a minicamp tryout, KPRC’s Aaron Wilson reported Monday, citing a league source. Shakel, who was waived by Tennessee on Tuesday, spent his 2023 NFL rookie season with the Titans and signed with them as an undrafted free agent last May. He spent the entire season on the Titans’ injured reserve list after being injured in the season opener against the Bruins.

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, San Francisco has been “interested” in the 25-year-old for a year. In three seasons at Troy, Shakel played in 29 games (five starts) and totaled 58 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, one defense, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
