49ers Sign Former Packers Cornerback Nate Hobbs

The San Francisco 49ers have signed cornerback Nate Hobbs to a one-year contract following his release by the Green Bay Packers. Hobbs, an elite athlete who previously played for the Raiders, struggled with knee injuries during his 2025 campaign in Green Bay, where he played 221 snaps. The 49ers are expected to utilize Hobbs in the slot, where he has historically performed best, and he is projected to replace Chase Lucas while contributing to the team's special teams units.
