49ers to sign veteran edge rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo

The San Francisco 49ers are adding a veteran edge rusher, signing Ogbo Okoronkwo on Wednesday.

Okoronkwo, 31, spent last season with the Philadelphia Eagles but appeared in just one game due to a torn triceps. He joins the 49ers after previously playing under defensive coordinator Raheem Morris with the Los Angeles Rams, where they won Super Bowl LVI. librea.one
