Marquez Valdes-Scantling News: Signed to active roster

The 49ers signed Valdes-Scantling to the active roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

San Francisco picked up Valdes-Scantling after he was let go by Seattle last week, and the veteran speedster now joins the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's road game against the Seahawks team he spent training camp with. It's possible that the 49ers were wary of Valdes-Scantling being poached by another team, were he to be kept on the practice squad. In any case, he'll join Skyy Moore and Jordan Watkins (ankle) as depth options at wide receiver behind Jauan Jennings (calf) and Ricky Pearsall for Week 1.
