Mostert, 24, appeared in one game with Miami, seven games with the Baltimore Ravens and three games with the Cleveland Browns in 2015, where he returned a total of 19 kickoffs for 530 yards (27.9 average).

This season, Mostert was waived by Cleveland on Sept. 4, signed to the New York Jets' practice squad on Sept. 6 and released on Sept. 12. He was signed to the Chicago Bears' practice squad on Sept. 13 where he spent time between the practice squad and active roster, appearing in two games prior to being waived on Oct. 21.

The 49ers also released rookie running back Kelvin Taylor from the practice squad. Taylor was originally selected by San Francisco in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
