49ers make two injury transactions

The San Francisco 49ers made a pair of roster moves on Wednesday. The team announced they have waived/injured linebacker Jayson DiManche, and they are placing Donavin Newsom on injured reserve.

General manager John Lynch announced the Newsom news during his Wednesday afternoon press conference. The DiManche is a bit unexpected. DiManche has been on the injury report with a hamstring injury, but there had been no indication of its severity.

The 49ers signed DiManche on April 7, and then released him May 2. They re-signed him on August 5.
