San Francisco 49ers sign Zamir White and Eli Apple

The San Francisco 49ers have signed running back Zamir White and cornerback Eli Apple. The moves follow recent workouts involving White and Nyheim Hines as the team seeks to bolster its roster due to injuries in the backfield.

White, a former fourth-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft, joins San Francisco as a free agent after his tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders. The signing follows the team's earlier acquisition of Khalil Herbert. The 49ers' backfield depth is currently under pressure, with Christian McCaffrey dealing with unspecified tightness and Isaac Guerendore remaining on the active/PUP list.

In addition to the signings, the 49ers announced an agreement to bring back 31-year-old cornerback Eli Apple, who had been released earlier this month. The team also signed defensive lineman Xavier Thomas, while waiving wide receiver Junior Bergen, punter Jack Bouwmeester, and defensive lineman K. J. Henry.
