49ers add familiar OL to practice squad, release former 1st-round pick

A practice squad move for the 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers are making another adjustment to their practice squad offensive line.

On Friday the team announced the addition of offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez. They released recently-signed former first-round pick Cameron Erving.

Gutierrez was most recently with the Colts practice squad, but he spent the offseason with the 49ers and was with their practice squad for part of the year.

With injuries along the OL it makes sense the 49ers would want a player more familiar with their offense. Erving was added Wednesday and made it through only two practices before his release.

The 49ers have a trio of starting offensive linemen banged up going into their Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Left tackle Trent Williams has an ankle issue that knocked him out of the 49ers Week 12 loss. In that Week 12 loss, left guard Aaron Banks suffered a concussion and right guard Dominick Puni sustained a shoulder injury. Both players’ statuses are in question for Sunday night in Buffalo.
