The San Francisco 49ers are planning to sign receiver/running back Tavon Austin and wideout J.J. Nelson, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday.
Nelson brings big play potential with an average of 17.4 yards per catch over a five season NFL career thus far.
Both players were present at the 49ers facility for workouts and COVID-19 testing, Rapoport added.
Receiver Richie James is also on the NFI list like Samuel, so Nelson and Austin will try to contribute to a WR corps that includes first round pick Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne, Jalen Hurd and Dante Pettis.
