The San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday officially signed running back Sincere McCormick and safety Patrick McMorris to one-year contracts.
Both signings were previously reported and anticipated, but nothing is official until the team announces the deals.

McCormick will be a familiar name to close followers of the 49ers. He was with the club's practice squad last season from late August through mid-November. He also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals , Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings practice squads last season. McCormick played in five games for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024. He earned two starts and posted 183 rushing yards on 39 carries.
The 49ers now have a pretty crowded running back room for the offseason. McCormick joins Christian McCaffrey , 2024 fourth-round pick Isaac Guerendo , 2025 fifth-round pick Jordan James , 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black and veteran Patrick Taylor .
McMorris has a real chance to play his way onto the 53-man roster in a safety room that doesn't have a ton of depth. Ji'Ayir Brown, Malik Mustapha and Marques Sigle are all returning, but there are no surefire starting duos just yet. The 49ers also signed undrafted free agent Jalen Stroman.
Like McCormick, McMorris saw his only NFL action in 2024 when he played in six games for the Miami Dolphins . He primarily contributed on special teams where he played 97 snaps. He saw just eight snaps on defense.

Both players are slated for 90-man roster spots with a chance to compete for a place on the 53-man roster during the offseason program and training camp.
