As injuries continue to pile up along the interior of their offensive line, the San Francisco 49ers went out and found some help.
The 49ers signed veteran offensive lineman Cameron Erving to their practice squad.
Since being selected No. 19 overall out of Florida State by the Cleveland Browns in the 2015 NFL draft, Erving has been a part of six NFL franchises.
The 10-year NFL vet spent the 2015-16 seasons in Cleveland, 2017-19 in Kansas City, 2020 in Dallas, 2021-22 in Carolina and 2023 in New Orleans.
Before his release on Nov. 20, Erving spent this season in Houston with the Texans’ practice squad.
The 32-year-old has versatility to play a number of different positions along the offensive line. Throughout his NFL career, Erving has played snaps at all five offensive line positions.
According to Pro Football Focus, Erving saw 208 snaps at right tackle last season in New Orleans.
San Francisco starting left guard Aaron Banks entered the concussion protocol following the 49ers’ loss in Week 12 at the Green Bay Packers.
The 49ers included starting right guard Dominick Puni among its injury update exiting Week 12 with a shoulder injury that is awaiting MRI results.
Banks has seen 675 snaps at left guard, while Puni has played 711 snaps at right guard per PFF.
San Francisco (5-6) returns to action at Buffalo (9-2) on Sunday, Dec. 1, with kickoff set for 5:20 p.m. PT and the game televised on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
