Just in: 49ers sign Eric Kendricks
Veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks is heading to San Francisco.
The 49ers are signing Kendricks to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
A big question facing the 49ers at linebacker this season is how soon Dre Greenlaw, who tore his Achilles during a freak incident when running onto the field at the Super Bowl, will be ready to play. Kendricks adds some stability at the position.
The 32-year-old Kendricks was a 2015 second-round pick of the Vikings and spent eight seasons in Minnesota before signing in Los Angeles and spending last season with the Chargers. He started 14 games last year.
