The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have placed wide receiver Torrey Smith on the Injured Reserve List and promoted linebacker Wynton McManis to the team’s active roster.
Though there are no real benefits to sealing last place early, knowing where they will finish has given the 49ers some clarity as to who their opponents will be next season. As of today, 15 of San Francisco’s 16 opponents have been decided.
The 49ers announced their second extension in as many weeks on Monday afternoon, signing linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong to a two-year extension via official team press release on. Armstrong, who was due to become an unrestricted free agent, is now locked up through the 2018 season.
