Kansas City Chiefs claim Bryson Eason off waivers from San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers lost defensive tackle Bryson Eason to the Kansas City Chiefs on waivers as teams navigated roster reduction deadlines. Eason, who performed well during the preseason, was cut by San Francisco due to a numbers game at his position. San Francisco was 28th on the waiver wire, limiting its ability to claim players who were recently released by other organizations. Other potential roster additions evaluated by the 49ers faced similar outcomes, as safety Kapena Gushiken was claimed by the Indianapolis Colts. The 49ers continue to finalize their practice squad as the team reviews remaining available free agents to address depth concerns along the defensive line and at offensive tackle.
