Before the San Francisco 49ers welcome in the New England Patriots on Sunday for a Week 4 contest, the team made a change to their practice squad. On Tuesday, the 49ers announced they’ve released defensive back Tracy Walker III from the practice squad.
After spending six seasons with the Detroit Lions, the veteran safety joined the 49ers during the 2024 offseason. Before the start of the regular-season, the 49ers added Walker III to the practice squad.
