Football must be getting closer because the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks are exchanging players.
The Seahawks have added a defensive back to their roster, claiming former Niner D.J. Reed off of waivers per Ian Rapoport. The 49ers waived Reed with an injury designation on Monday.
Reed tore his pectoral muscle earlier this summer while working out on his own. He likely won’t be able to return until November at the earliest, and he could miss all of 2020. That makes this more of a down-the-road lottery ticket for Seattle. Reed was a valued member of the 49ers for his versatility to play corner, nickel and safety.
