Injuries have hit the 49ers hard at defensive tackle in recent weeks, and on Thursday they added some depth.
The 49ers have signed veteran defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth to their practice squad. Agent Brett Tessler announced on social media.
Stallworth, 28, has played in 58 NFL games with two starts in six seasons. The Tennessee Titans released Stallworth from injured reserve last month. After playing six snaps in the Titans' Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens, he was placed on injured reserve.
Stallworth also spent time with Houston and Carolina this offseason.
The 49ers placed second-year defensive tackle Kalia Davis on injured reserve on Wednesday because of a high ankle sprain. Davis will miss at least four games but could be available for the 49ers in the postseason.
The 49ers played their Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals without starting defensive tackles Arik Armstead and Javon Hargrave.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said the club won't know until later in the week whether Armstead (foot and knee) or Hargrave (hamstring) will be available for Monday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Stallworth has played in the NFL regular season with five different teams in his career. He spent two seasons each in New Orleans and Indianapolis before moving on to Houston, Kansas City and Tennessee.
He has 52 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his career.
