49ers Trade for Deion Jones, Saints Get Zamir White

The New Orleans Saints traded running back Zamir White to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for veteran linebacker Deion Jones to add depth at running back amid Saints’ injuries, while the 49ers bolster their defense with Jones’s addition. White previously joined the 49ers this offseason after a Raiders stint, and Jones brings Pro Bowl-caliber experience to a defense that is also reshaping with Christian McCaffrey returning to practice and Kamara sidelined for the Saints before the deal.

Meanwhile, injury news around the Saints’ top rookie Jordyn Tyson threatens their Paris game against Pittsburgh, and the team’s depth at receiver and along the line is tested as Tyson could miss two months, complicating preparations for the Steelers.
