The San Francisco 49ers conducted tryouts for two former University of Tennessee players during NFL Week 9, according to a report from Vols Wire. The workout took place as teams across the league evaluate additional roster options midway through the 2026 season.
Neither player was identified in the initial report. NFL teams regularly bring in free agents for workouts during the season to maintain depth charts and prepare for potential injuries or roster moves.
The 49ers, like all 32 NFL franchises, utilize the tryout process to assess available talent that could provide immediate contributions or future depth. Former Volunteers players have historically been part of San Francisco's roster pipeline.
