With Kyle Williams out for the year with a torn ACL, the 49ers are looking for cover at receiver and returner.
According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, the 49ers are going to sign former Eagles wideout/return man Chad Hall to the practice squad.
That could be a temporary assignment, as a punt returner would help, particularly after Ted Ginn injured his wrist and muffed a punt against the Saints.
