Signed to active roster

The 49ers signed O'Donnell off their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. O'Donnell could be the 49ers' punter for the next four regular-season games due to Mitch Wishnowsky (back) being placed on injured reserve. O'Donnell last saw regular-season action in 2022 with the Packers, during which he averaged 44.5 yards per punt across 17 games.
Joins 49ers' practice squad

O'Donnell was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday. O'Donnell was brought in to provide San Francisco with a contingency plan at punter with starter Mitch Wishnowsky (back) missing the team's first practice of the week Wednesday. O'Donnell will likely be elevated to the active roster if Wishnowsky cannot play Sunday versus the Seahawks.
Let go from practice squad

O'Donnell was added to the practice squad and subsequently elevated to the active roster Saturday with Bradley Pinion dealing with an illness. Pinion was able to play Sunday, so O'Donnell's services were not needed and he was inactive for the game. He'll explore his options once he clears waivers.
Signed to practice squad, elevated

The Falcons wasted no time elevating O'Donnell with starting punter Bradley Pinion (illness) questionable for Sunday's game. O'Donnell last played for Green Bay in 2022 after eight seasons with the Bears.
