According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN on Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The signing comes one day after the 49ers lost 33-19 to the Baltimore Ravens to close out week 16 in a battle of the top two teams in the National Football League.
The 49ers are the third NFL franchise Joseph-Day has played for in his career. Interestingly, the two previous teams he has played for have also been in California. Joseph-Day was with the Los Angeles Rams from 2019 to 2021, and the Los Angeles Chargers from 2022 to 2023.
The fact that the Chargers released Joseph-Day on Friday, actually was a surprise to many. That is because he was a Chargers team captain this season.
In 14 games with the Chargers in 2023, Joseph-Day had 31 combined tackles (15 solo tackles and 16 assisted tackles), 11 quarterback hits, three tackles for a loss, and three sacks. In 69 games with the Rams and Chargers in his career, Joseph Day has 224 combined tackles (125 solo tackles and 99 assisted tackles), 21 tackles for a loss, 31 quarterback hits, one safety, one interception for four yards, five pass deflections, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. The fumble recovery came in a 25-24 Los Angeles Chargers win over the Arizona Cardinals on November 27, 2022.
While with the Rams, Joseph-Day was a Super Bowl champion. He was on the field for three defensive snaps and three special team snaps as the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI. It was only the second time ever that a NFL team won the Super Bowl in their home city. The first was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which beat the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV.
