Cooks agreed Tuesday to sign with the 49ers' practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
San Francisco marks the eighth career stop for Cooks, who has racked up 9,811 receiving yards and 62 total touchdowns since entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the Saints in 2014. The 32-year-old will provide the 49ers with some much-needed depth after the WR depth chart was ravaged by injuries. Because he didn't participate in training camp with a team, Cooks could need time to regain conditioning and may not be ready to jump into action for a Week 3 game against the Cardinals. Expect him to be elevated from the practice squad or signed to the 49ers' 53-man roster once he's fully up to speed.
