Patterson was traded to the 49ers from the Texans on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Patterson was selected by the Texans in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He most recently appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Houston during the 2025 campaign, starting five of them. The 26-year-old will have an opportunity for snaps in San Francisco, especially with his versatility, though he should be considered a depth piece for now.
