On Tuesday, general manager John Lynch told reporters that punter Mitch Wishnowsky “tweaked his back” while lifting away from the team facility and that he may need to be placed on the NFI list. The 49ers followed through on that move, adding another corner to their group. As of now, there is no backup or replacement for Wishnowsky.

The following comes from the team.


The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have signed CB Terrance Mitchell to a one-year deal and placed P Mitch Wishnowsky on the Active/Non-Football Injury List.  

Mitchell (5-11, 191) was originally drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round (254th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. Throughout his eight-year NFL career with the Cowboys, Chicago Bears (2015), Kansas City Chiefs (2016-17), Cleveland Browns (2018-20), Houston Texans (2021) and Tennessee Titans (2022), he has appeared in 94 games (56 starts) and registered 305 tackles, 1.0 sack, nine interceptions, 63 passes defensed, 10 forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Mitchell has also played in four postseason contests (three starts), tallying 14 tackles and one pass defensed.  

In 2022, Mitchell appeared in 11 games (five starts) with the Titans and finished with 39 tackles, one interception, four passes defensed and one forced fumble.  

A 31-year-old native of Sacramento, CA, Mitchell attended the University of Oregon (2011-13), where he appeared in 40 games (38 starts) and registered 144 tackles, seven interceptions, 25 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
