The San Francisco 49ers have announced the following roster moves ahead of their game on Sunday against the New England Patriots.
- RB Raheem Mostert has been placed on injured reserve
- S Johnathan Cyprien and S Jared Mayden have been activated from the practice squad
- WR Jauan Jennings has been placed on the practice squad injured reserve list
Mostert suffered a high-ankle sprain during last weekend's win over the Los Angeles Rams. It is unknown what injury Jennings sustained.
Cyprien and Mayden being activated was not unexpected. The 49ers will be without both of their starting safeties, Jaquiski Tartt and Jimmie Ward, on Sunday.
The following rundown has been provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
Cyprien (6-1, 211) was originally drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

A 30-year-old native of North Miami Beach, FL, Cyprien spent four years (2009-12) at Florida International University where he appeared in 50 games (45 starts) and finished his career with 365 tackles, 22 passes defensed, 13.5 tackles for loss, seven interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 1.0 sack.
