The 49ers have released Zac Herold who was on the practice squad and signed another tight end by the name of Zac.

Zac Alcorn was originally signed by the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He spent the first part of the season on Green Bay’s practice squad before being activated to the 53-man playing roster last November.  Alcorn played in six of the Packers’ last seven games, mostly on special teams.

Dur preseason with the Packers everyone on the Packers squad said that Alcorn had the best hands they had seen in a while.  I have to wonder why they let him go and signed two other tight ends to their practice squad though. Time will tell but, welcome to the 49er family Zac Alcorn!
