With linebacker Dekoda Watson going on injured reserve Friday, the 49ers need a replacement. So they reportedly are bringing two free agent linebackers to Santa Clara on Monday for workouts.

Veteran Erik Walden and three-year pro Hau'oli Kikaha will visit with the 49ers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Walden, 33, played with the Titans last season. He was with the Seahawks this summer, but they cut him on Sept. 7. Walden has 248 total tackles and 35 sacks in 145 career games.

Kikaha, a second-round draft pick by the Saints in 2015, was waived by New Orleans on Aug. 31. He played in 12 games last season, recording just six tackles and four sacks.

The 49ers' roster currently sits at 52 players following the Watson roster move.
