According to Matt Barrows, the 49ers are elevating defensive linemen T.Y. McGill and Alex Barrett ahead of the Super Bowl.
McGill, 31, originally signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State back in 2015. He lasted just a few months in Seattle before he was claimed off of waivers by the Colts.
McGill has had brief stints with several teams including the Browns, Chiefs, Chargers, Eagles, Washington, and Saints. From there, McGill re-signed with the Eagles in 2020 and bounced between their practice squad and active roster.
Philadelphia released McGill and after a brief stint with Washington, he landed on the Vikings’ practice squad to finish out the season and re-signed with them. Minnesota cut him during final roster cuts and he eventually signed on with the 49ers where he has remained the past two seasons.
In 2023, McGill appeared in two games for the 49ers and recorded two tackles and one forced fumble.
