The San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday promoted offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom to their active roster from their practice squad. They also signed cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun and tight end Daniel Helm to the practice squad.
While drafted as an offensive tackle, Bergstrom has played primarily guard over the past couple of seasons. Last season he appeared in all 16 games and made six starts for the Washington Football Team. He has appeared in 82 games over parts of seven NFL seasons.
The 49ers worked out Boddy-Calhoun last week. He spent three years with the Browns and parts of last year with the Colts and Texans. In his four NFL seasons he’s played in 46 games with 22 starts primarily at safety. He’s recorded 151 tackles, 19 passes defended, three interceptions, and three sacks.
Helm was released from the 49ers practice squad just last week. He signed as an undrafted free agent out of Duke by the Los Angeles Chargers prior to the 2019 season. The 49ers claimed him off waivers and he spent the majority of last season on their practice squad. This season, Helm has appeared in 3 games with the 49ers special teams unit.
