The San Francisco 49ers have brought in a veteran replacement at safety, a position of need after losing All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga and George Odom to season-ending injuries. 

Logan Ryan, a two-time Super Bowl champion, has signed with the Niners to bolster their secondary, per NFL Media. 

Though specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed, Ryan is on board for at least this playoff push the team hopes to make.

With Hufanga tearing his ACL against the Tampa Bay Buccaners and Odom tearing his biceps, Ryan’s arrival comes at a perfect time for the 49ers. 

They are the No. 2 seed in the NFC after taking down the No. 1-seeded Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning NFC champions who beat San Fran back in January to make it to the Super Bowl.

Ryan, 32, has the playoff experience that GM John Lynch can respect as a former safety himself. Ryan won his Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, the team he spent his first four NFL seasons with from 2013-2016.
