The 49ers needed to get to 85 players on their roster by 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday, and they did so by releasing tight end Josh Perkins and waived/injured Austin Watkins Jr. The team also officially announced they waived Ken Webster.
If Watkins Jr. goes unclaimed, which you’d imagine he would with a broken foot, he’ll revert to the 49ers injured reserve.
After missing 10 days on the COVID list, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley is now dealing with a hamstring strain. That’s….not a good sign if your starter is dealing with hamstring issues this early in camp.
