The 49ers made a few moves ahead of Sunday’s NFC Championship:
Activated from injured reserve:
RB Trenton Cannon
Activated from practice squad:
QB Nate Sudfeld
LB Mark Nzeocha
Waived:
WR River Cracraft
Cannon is a key special teamer and would also likely serve as the primary kick returner.
NBC Sports’ Matt Maiocco said there isn’t a change in the status of Jimmy Garoppolo, and this was simply a way of rewarding Sudfeld, who isn’t expected to be active Sunday. Teams can elevate two players from the practice squad, but they’re not required to dress Sunday.
