Fehoko’s Shot, Deguara’s Exit | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers made a bold, last-minute move: signing defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko Jr. on a one-year deal to bolster their depleted defensive line, while cutting tight end Josiah Deguara just 24 days after signing him.

Deguara, a veteran with 77 career games, was squeezed out as George Kittle returned from injury and Khalil Dinkins was re-signed, tightening the tight end room. With the 49ers in need of depth and Fehoko’s college dominance, this is a high-stakes audition — can he translate his tape to the NFL?
