The San Francisco 49ers added former Arizona Wildcat defensive end D’Aundre Reed to their practice squad on Tuesday.

Reed, a seventh-round pick of Minnesota in 2011, spent his first two seasons with the Vikings, appearing in six games, mostly on special teams.

He suffered an ankle injury in this year’s camp, and Minnesota cut him in late August before placing him on injured reserve after he cleared injury waivers. Reed later reached an injury settlement with the team, allowing him to sign elsewhere.

Elsewhere, Dan Buckner, who spent about four days on the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad last week, was signed Tuesday to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. Buckner, an undrafted rookie, was among the last cuts from the Cardinals’ preseason camp.

Here is a look at which former Arizona Wildcats are on NFL teams, and a complete list of transactions for this season:
