For the second-straight year, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Arik Armstead's season has come to an early end. The team placed him on injured reserve on Tuesday and also released tight end Logan Paulsen, creating two vacant roster spots which the 49ers filled by signing two defensive linemen – Tony McDaniel and Leger Douzable. Both signings were reported earlier on Tuesday.
Armstead was the 17th-overall selection by the 49ers in the 2015 NFL Draft. He has started all six games this season and had 16 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a pass defensed. Over his three seasons with the 49ers, Armstead has 50 total tackles, six sacks, and a pass defensed.
