New Orleans also called up receiver Cedric Tillman and tackle Easton Kilty from the practice squad for Sunday's home game against Minnesota.
San Francisco needed the spot to bring back Ogbo Okoronkwo, ending the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher's stay after less than two weeks.
The fullback has a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise from Sunday's win over Denver, and Kyle Shanahan will spread his role among the tight ends for the trip to Seattle.
