Armed with the No. 2 spot in the NFL’s pecking order for the waiver wire, the 49ers claimed only one player Sunday morning: defensive end Xavier Cooper.
In a corresponding roster move, defensive lineman Ronald Blair is expected to land on the 49ers injured reserve list as potentially one of their two allotted players designated to return at midseason.
Cooper got cut Saturday from the Cleveland Browns, who had first dibs on waiver claims.
