The San Francisco 49ers are signing punter Pressley Harvin III to a one-year deal, multiple outlets reported Friday.

The 25-year-old free agent spent the last three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A 2021 seventh-round draft pick, Harvin averaged 39.1 net yards per punt in 15 games last season while dropping 30 of his 78 punts inside the 20-yard line.

Veteran punter Mitch Wishnowsky has missed time in training camp with a knee injury and is not expected to be available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans.
