Another former 49ers wide receiver is on the move.

Lightly-used wideout Keshawn Martin has signed a contract with the Detroit Lions, the team announced on Saturday.

Martin spent less than two months with the 49ers during the 2016 season. He joined the 49ers on Sept. 27, 2016 on a two-year deal, but was released on Nov. 8 to make room for WR Chris Harper, who was signed from the practice squad.

A fourth-round pick by the Texans in 2012, Martin appeared in just one game for the 49ers. He returned two kicks against Buffalo, but fumbled one. He did not have a reception in his time with San Francisco.
