Kyle’s update, 2:50 p.m. PT: The 49ers announced they’ve waived the following five players:
CB Nate Brooks
DL La’Darius Hamilton
DL Breeland Speaks
LB Kyahva Tezino
DL Spencer Waege
So, no surprises yet.
On August 19, the 49ers placed newly signed edge rusher Taco Charlton on the injured reserve. When you place a player on the IR prior to the season starting, you’re effectively ending the season for the player.
According to the NFL’s transaction wire, the 49ers released Charlton Sunday afternoon with an injury settlement. With roster cuts needing to be finalized by Tuesday, the Niners are likely to begin their cuts soon.
