Sticks with SF on practice squad Bergen signed with San Francisco's practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Bergen was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the 49ers out of Montana but failed to make San Francisco's initial 53-man roster. He didn't garner any interest on waivers and thus remains in the organization. Bergen could be a candidate for a promotion to the roster early in the season depending on the health of San Francisco's various injured wide receivers.

Shuffles to waivers The 49ers waived Bergen on Tuesday.

Impact A rookie seventh-round pick, Bergen was unable to secure a roster spot with the 49ers despite their injury-riddled receiver room. The Montana product was likely drafted for his returning abilities, as he returned eight punts and one kick return for touchdowns during college, but he didn't show enough during the preseason to secure a role. Bergen has a strong case for the practice squad if he clears waivers.
