49ers' Bennie Fowler: Signs with San Fran

Fowler (shoulder) signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 29-year-old played in only five games with the Saints last season, catching two passes before undergoing surgery that knocked him out for the remainder of the campaign. Fowler will replace Marqise Lee on the depth chart and appears to have an uphill battle to make the roster.
