Receiver Marcus Maxwell rejoined the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad Tuesday after getting cut right
before the regular season.

Maxwell, a seventh-round draft pick from Oregon in 2005, playedbriefly in four games late last season after spending the first 10 weeks on the practice squad. The Bay Area native was born in Berkeley and grew up in Hercules.

To make room, the 49ers waived receiver Cory Rodgers from the practice squad.
