The 49ers just announced they waived quarterback Tom Savage. In a corresponding move, they promoted cornerback Tyvis Powell from the practice squad to the active roster.
These moves are no-brainers. The 49ers need an extra cornerback this Sunday while Jimmie Ward is injured, and Savage isn’t ready to play yet — he’s still learning the offense. Powell fills an immediate need. Savage doesn’t. Next week, if Ward is healthy, I won’t be surprised if the 49ers release Powell and re-sign Savage.
What do you think of these moves?
