Daniel Helm: Shifts back to practice squad
Helm reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Helm collected seven of his 11 total snaps on offense during Saturday's 20-12 win over Arizona, but he remains without a reception over five appearances this season.
