The San Francisco 49ers will be placing offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and defensive lineman Kalia Davis on Injured Reserve due to knee injuries sustained during the preseason.
Both players are expected to miss about half the season, but thanks to new NFL rules, the 49ers can place them on IR without using spots on their 53-man roster.
This provision allows the 49ers to keep replacements for Feliciano and Davis instead of risking losing players to waivers.
Feliciano's return could bolster the offensive line's depth, while Davis was showing promise in training camp before his injury.
