The San Francisco 49ers have made a roster move, waiving safety Lorenzo Jerome and claiming Dexter McCoil off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jerome is an undrafted rookie who made the full roster after a strong training camp and preseason. He played a significant role on defense when Jimmie Ward and Eric Reid were injuries, and played 20 snaps in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
I imagine Jerome will be placed on the team’s practice squad if he clears waivers. He was a very important player in the preseason, starting three games at safety.
