The San Francisco 49ers injured reserve gets one more rookie added. The team did not activate wide receiver DeAndre Smelter from the NFI list, and so they must place him on season-ending injured reserve. Smelter tore his ACL last fall, causing his draft stock to slip. He opened training camp on the NFI list, and had his practice window activated three weeks ago. He could practice over the last three weeks, but moving forward, he can no longer practice with the team. He can still attend meetings and work with trainers.
Smelter will spend the next four weeks on IR.
