The San Francisco 49ers have signed veteran punter Thomas Morstead, who announced the move on social media, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirming the contract. Morstead, a 16-year NFL veteran, has played for several teams including the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins, and the New York Jets, where he was coached by current 49ers special teams coordinator Brant Boyer. This signing may suggest concerns regarding incumbent punter Mitch Wishnowsky’s health following a back injury that placed him on injured reserve last season.
