The San Francisco 49ers signed wide receiver Jontre Kirklin and running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn to one-year deals on Wednesday.

Kirklin, 25, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals in 2022 after five seasons at LSU. He joined the New Orleans Saints' practice squad in 2023 and has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Vaughn, 27, was a third-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2020. He rushed for 384 yards and two touchdowns and added 14 receptions for 81 yards and one score in 43 games (one start) for the Buccaneers from 2020-23.

The team released veteran safety Erik Harris and waived/injured undrafted rookie wide receiver Terique Owens, son of franchise great Terrell Owens, to make room on the training camp roster.
