Willie Snead: Returns to practice squad

The 49ers signed Snead to their practice squad Tuesday, per the team's official site.

Since late August, Snead has gone back and forth between the 49ers' practice squad and their active roster, so this transaction doesn't come with much surprise. However, the veteran receiver could find himself back on the team's 53-man roster after San Fransisco's Week 9 bye if either Deebo Samuel (hamstring) or Jauan Jennings (hamstring) are unable to gain medical clearance in time for the 49ers' Week 10 matchup against the Chargers.
