The San Francisco 49ers re-signed safety Ashtyn Davis and punter Corliss Waitman to one-year contracts on Monday. These roster adjustments occurred one day after the team initially reduced its roster to 53 players. As part of the corresponding transactions, the club placed cornerback Nate Hobbs and linebacker Nick Martin on injured reserve. Hobbs is currently managing a groin injury, while Martin is sidelined with a hamstring issue.
