49ers release former 1st-round pick as part of latest roster moves

The San Francisco 49ers have been awfully busy shuffling the back end of their 90-man training camp roster.

Largely thanks to injuries, the Niners have had to regularly bring in players on workouts, occasionally signing players here and there to shore up weaker positions and to keep units fully stockpiled heading into their first preseason bout against the Denver Broncos on Aug. 9.

Wide receiver seems the most fluid. But, with the Broncos in town for joint practices, general manager John Lynch and Co. shuffled up both the cornerback and defensive line rooms with a move involving a former first-round NFL Draft pick.
