49ers place RB Jeff Wilson on reserve/COVID list, cut two others

The San Francisco 49ers have announced that running back
Jeff Wilson Jr. has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He joins wide receiver
Richie James Jr., who was placed on the list on Monday.
Wilson was among the players who reported for COVID-19 testing on Tuesday.
The reserve/COVID-19 list has been created for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons. If a player falls into either of these categories, his club is required to immediately place the player on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Clubs are not permitted to comment on a player's medical status other than referring to the roster status and may not disclose whether the player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19.
San Francisco also announced two other moves. The team released offensive lineman Leonard Wester and waived defensive lineman Alex Barrett.
The moves get the 49ers below the 80-man roster requirement that must be met before August 16.

The San Francisco 49ers have announced that the team has placed Deebo Samuel on injured reserve. The move will force the second-year wide receiver to miss at least three games under the NFL's new injured-reserve rules, meaning the earliest he would be available is for Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Samuel has not practiced with the team since suffering a Jones fracture in June. Head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped that the receiver would be available for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but the 49ers never cleared Samuel to practice this week.
Shanahan was asked on Friday why San Francisco had not yet placed Samuel on injured reserve.
"Because we believed he had a good chance to play this week," Shanahan
