Niners Roster Shuffle: Fehoko In, Deguara Out | San Francisco 49ers News

The Niners made a splashy roster move, signing defensive lineman Viliami Fehoko Jr. to a one-year deal and releasing tight end Josiah Deguara after just 24 days — a move that signals urgency as final cuts loom. Fehoko, a fourth-round pick with solid college stats and a DPOY award, gets a late shot at NFL action after bouncing around teams without ever suiting up in a regular-season game. He’s one of three defensive linemen auditioned, with a short window to prove he can contribute — even a practice squad spot would be a win. Deguara’s release is puzzling given his 77-game NFL experience, but with George Kittle back and Khalil Dinkins re-signed, the team pivoted to prioritize depth on defense.
