The 49ers need some camp depth at wide receiver, and it appears they have found someone.
The San Francisco 49ers have made a roster move. The team announced on Tuesday that they have waived/injured rookie safety Jered Bell, and signed wide receiver Ryan Whalen. If Bell goes unclaimed, he would revert to injured reserve or the team could work out an injury settlement.
Matt Barrows reported yesterday the team was working somebody out, but did not have a name. The 49ers wide receiver position is dealing with numerous injuries. DeAndre Smelter dealt with a hamstring injury in the offseason workout program, and it seems to still be nagging him.
