The 49ers signed Snead to their practice squad Wednesday.
Snead made four appearances for the 49ers last year, playing 68 total snaps (30 offensive). Heading into his age-31 season, the veteran wideout has a plethora of experience, especially on special teams, but he hasn't finished with more than 35 receiving yards since 2020.

49ers' Willie Snead: Victim to roster cuts
Snead was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Snead re-signed with the 49ers on a one-year deal during the offseason. He was the favorite to return both punts and kicks to go along with providing receiver depth, but the team has ultimately opted to go in another direction. It now remains to be seen if the 30-year-old will land on the team's practice squad or look for an opportunity elsewhere.

49ers' Willie Snead: Elevated for TNF
The 49ers elevated Snead from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Seahawks.
Snead has bounced back and forth between San Francisco's active roster and practice squad this season, seeing action in two games Week 6 and Week 8. While he has yet to catch a pass this season, the 30-year-old should provide additional depth at wide receiver Week 15 with Deebo Samuel likely to miss around three games due to an MCL sprain. Snead will now be eligible for one more elevation from the 49ers' practice squad this season.

Willie Snead: Returns to practice squad
The 49ers signed Snead to their practice squad Tuesday, per the team's official site.
Since late August, Snead has gone back and forth between the 49ers' practice squad and their active roster, so this transaction doesn't come with much surprise. However, the veteran receiver could find himself back on the team's 53-man roster after San Fransisco's Week 9 bye if either Deebo Samuel (hamstring) or Jauan Jennings (hamstring) are unable to gain medical clearance in time for the 49ers' Week 10 matchup against the Chargers.

Willie Snead: Let go Monday
Snead was cut by the 49ers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Snead was signed to the team's active roster from their practice squad Saturday, as Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings were both out due to hamstring injuries. Despite playing 21 snaps on offense against the Rams, he failed to see a target. He'll now look for an opportunity elsewhere, although it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately ended up back with the 49ers' practice squad.
