Perhaps needing insurance, 49ers re-sign veteran DB

SANTA CLARA — A day after he was cut, defensive back Antone Exum Jr. was resigned by the 49ers on Sunday to a one-year deal after defensive lineman Kentavius Street was officially placed on the injured reserve list.

Street, a fourth round draft choice by the 49ers last year when he spent his entire rookie season on the reserve/non-football injury list, is eligible to return to practice in Week 6 and can be activated after Week 8.

Already on the 49ers injured reserve list are running back Jerick McKinnon (knee), tackle Shon Coleman (fibula) and cornerback Tim Harris (groin).
