QB Brandon Allen among trio signed by 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers signed a trio of players to one-year contracts Monday, including quarterback Brandon Allen.

Financial terms were not released.

Allen, 30, gives the team more depth in the QB room while Brock Purdy continues his rehab from major elbow surgery. The Niners also have Trey Lance and free agent signee Sam Darnold on the roster.

Allen spent the past three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals.

A sixth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016, Allen has passed for 1,611 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions in 15 games (nine starts) with the Denver Broncos (2019) and Bengals.

Davidson, 24, collected 29 tackles and a sack in 19 games (one start) over two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons (2020-21), who selected him in the second round of the 2020 draft.

Fumagalli, 28, hasn’t played in a game since 2020 but spent time on the 49ers’ practice squad last season. He has 14 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns in 19 games (five starts) with the Denver Broncos (2019-20).

Bengals put backup QB Brandon Allen on COVID list

The Cincinnati Bengals are on high alert after placing backup quarterback Brandon Allen on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

All eyes are now on starter Joe Burrow for the AFC North-leading Bengals.

The Bengals also put cornerback Darius Phillips on the COVID list. Phillips (shoulder) is on injured reserve.

The Bengals (9-6) control their own destiny with two games remaining — this week against the Kansas City Chiefs and Week 18 at Cleveland. The Bengals hold a one-game lead over Baltimore in the AFC North.

Allen, 29, has appeared in four games this season and has one touchdown pass. The Bengals carry just two QBs on the active roster. Jake Browning is on the practice squad.

Burrow is having a monster second season, completing an NFL-best 69.9 percent of his passes for 4,165 yards. He has 30 touchdowns against 14 interceptions, tied for the most in the league.

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed quarterback Brandon Allen to a one-year contract Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Allen was 1-4 in those starts, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 925 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.

Burrow said earlier this offseason that his recovery timetable has him on track to be ready by the season opener.

Drafted in the sixth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016, Allen started three games for the Denver Broncos in 2019. For his career, he has completed 129 of 226 passes for 1,440 yards with eight TDs and six picks in eight starts (2-6 record).
