Familiar Face Returns: 49ers Sign RB Sincere McCormick to One Year Deal

The San Francisco 49ers’ backfield is getting a little more crowded. On Monday, April 27, 2026, the team announced they have agreed to terms with former Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick.

The signing, first reported by the 25 year old’s representation at Black Label Sports Group, brings a familiar face back to Santa Clara as the team transitions from the draft into the summer program.

A Familiar Landing Spot

This isn't McCormick’s first stint in red and gold. The 5’9”, 204 pound back originally joined the 49ers’ practice squad in August 2025. He spent nearly three months learning Kyle Shanahan’s complex outside zone scheme before being released on November 18.

Following his departure from San Francisco last season, McCormick became a bit of an NFL journeyman, spending time on the practice squads of the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, and Minnesota Vikings. While he didn't see the field in 2025, the 49ers clearly saw enough during his previous tenure to warrant a second look.

The Raiders Resume

McCormick’s most significant NFL production came in 2024 with the Raiders. During that campaign, he appeared in five games (including two starts), recording:

• 39 carries for 183 rushing yards (4.7 average)
• 6 receptions for 29 receiving yards
• 45 total touches for 212 yards from scrimmage
