49ers have signed former Stanford linebacker Shayne Skov; Place TE on I/R
The San Francisco 49ers announced they’ve placed TE Garrett Celek on season-ending injured reserve and signed LB Shayne Skov to a two-year deal.
Skov was signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He played college football at Stanford. In his final season, he went on to set a career high in tackles (109), tackles for loss (13), sacks (5.5) and forced fumbles (3). He was named a third team All-American by the Associated Press.
Skov was released last week when the team activated Daniel Kilgore from the short term injured reserve. Kilgore played his college ball at Appalachian State.
