49ers place S Tavon Wilson and Sanu on IR; activate S Tony Jefferson for tonight’s game

The 49ers announced a few roster moves ahead of tonight’s big game against the Rams. The team places safety Tavon Wilson and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu on the injured reserve. Both players must miss a minimum of three games.

The Niners activated safety Tony Jefferson from the practice squad for tonight to take Wilson's place on the active roster. Jefferson figures to serve as a reserve safety behind Jimmie Ward and rookie Talanoa Hufanga.

Knowing how much the Rams play 11 personnel (3 WR/1/TE/1 RB), it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Jefferson serve as the extra defensive back if DeMeco Ryans is comfortable with the veteran.
