The San Francisco 49ers have announced that the team has signed tight end Joshua Perkins and cornerback B.W. Webb to one-year deals. To make room on the roster, the Niners have waived cornerback Tim Harris with an injury designation and waived tight end Josh Pederson.
Harris has missed practices with a groin injury that head coach Kyle Shanahan estimates will keep him out for at least a couple of weeks. If he goes unclaimed, Harris will revert back to the 49ers.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
