49ers Roster Moves: Safety, Punter Re-Signed; 2 Defensive Players Head to IR
The 49ers added veteran depth after final roster cuts, with Ashtyn Davis bringing 84 career games and Corliss Waitman 230 punts in 52 games.
- On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers re-signed safety Ashtyn Davis and punter Corliss Waitman to one-year deals. The team's initial 53-man roster shifted within 24 hours, bringing back both veterans after their release.
- To create roster space, San Francisco placed cornerback Nate Hobbs and linebacker Nick Martin on the Injured Reserve list. Hobbs is recovering from a groin issue, while Martin suffered a hamstring injury in preseason.
- Safety Davis, a 29-year-old veteran with 240 career tackles and nine interceptions, brings experience to the defense. He previously played for the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, tallying 63 tackles last season.
- Throughout his four-year career, Waitman has registered 10,673 yards on 230 punts with a 46.4-yard average. He also appeared in two postseason contests, landing nine punts inside the 20-yard line.
- Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris looks to these veteran additions to bolster the unit as the 49ers aim to stay healthy. The team hopes depth moves will maintain competitiveness in the NFC this season.
