Aaron Wilson reported that the 49ers signed Daelin Hayes and placed Darryl Johnson on the injured reserve. Johnson, an edge rusher, will not return this season. Johnson had batted a couple of passes during camp, so he made the most of his reps.
Both transactions became official Saturday according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
Hayes was drafted in the fifth round of the 2021 draft out of Notre Dame by the Baltimore Ravens. He played 65 defensive snaps as a rookie, with the majority of those coming as a stand-up outside linebacker.
