Tank Carradine has officially been put on injured reserve after sustaining an ankle sprain on Thursday night. He would be eligible to play in 8 weeks if he recovers from the injury. He has 1 sack this season, which came against the Seahawks. The 49ers signed former Cowboys LB Mark Nzeocha in the place of Tank’s roster spot.
The injury to Tank could mean more playing time for the 3rd pick in the draft, Solomon Thomas. Tank was playing on base downs, but Thomas has played more snaps overall.
