The 49ers signed Winstead to their practice squad Wednesday.
A rookie UDFA, Winstead didn't make the 49ers' initial 53-man roster after catching all four of his targets for 54 yards across two preseason contests. The 6-foot-4 wideout will get a chance to continue his development with the 49ers, but he's unlikely to see an elevation barring numerous injuries to San Francisco's wideout corps.

Isaiah Winstead: Sent packing by San Fran

Winstead was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Winstead landed in San Francisco in May after going undrafted. He was competing for a depth receiver role with the club, as well as the opportunity to contribute on special teams. While he failed in the end in terms of making it through final roster cuts, it remains to be seen if the 49ers will give him a chance on their practice squad.
