In case you haven't been around since yesterday or you missed something, here is a rundown of the moves that have been made in the past day.
Signed to Extension (1)
ILB Ray-Ray Armstrong was signed to a two-year extension on Monday. The new deal will keep Armstrong with the 49ers through the 2018 season. He suffered a pectoral tear during the second half of the 49ers' Week 2 loss to the Carolina Panthers and was placed on injured reserve on September 20.

LB Nick Bellore (elbow) and
TE Blake Bell were placed on injured reserve on Monday, ending their seasons.

Following the announcement of Bellore being placed on injured reserve, the 49ers claimed
LB Carl Bradford off waivers on Monday.
With Bell being placed on injured reserve and
TE Vance McDonald already out for the season, the 49ers signed
TE Jim Dray to a one-year deal.
Activated from the Practice Squad (1)

Javon Hargrave: 49ers-Eagles would have been a different game with a healthy Brock Purdy
Everything changed in the NFC Championship Game when quarterback Brock Purdy exited early with an injury. He eventually returned because his backup, Josh Johnson, exited with a concussion. Purdy could not throw, though. He suffered a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, leaving the San Francisco 49ers to become one-dimensional, abandoning the pass and depending solely on the run game.
For fans, it was a difficult game to watch. Everyone anticipated a more evenly matched battle between the two best teams in the NFC. Instead, they got an Eagles powerhouse defense going against a limping 49ers offense.
"We kind of knew it was going to be different when all you can do is run the ball," former Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave said
