The San Francisco 49ers made a lot of roster cuts before yesterday's deadline to get down to the 53-player limit. The team likely had their eyes on a number of those players, hoping they would clear waivers and return to the practice squad.
Three of those players were claimed by other teams and, probably much to the disappointment of the 49ers, won't be returning.
The Arizona Cardinals claimed offensive linemen Ilm Manning and Keith Ismael, adding the two to their 53-man roster.
Surprise undrafted rookie D'Shawn Jamison is headed to the Carolina Panthers' 53-man roster.
"He has definitely made strides from the spring and just came back and built on to his repertoire and just his toolbox," defensive coordinator Steve Wilks said earlier this month. "I think the one thing that he's doing with his technique, he's staying more square in his backpedal, which is allowing him to be able to see and visualize more of the field, route concepts, see the quarterback.
"And he's doing a great job of breaking on the ball, his man-to-man technique. He's great at the line of scrimmage, and he's doing a good job at the top end of the route—the point of emphasis that I talk about all the time. That's where we got to win. So you see him doing a lot of good things."
Meanwhile, the 49ers didn't make any waiver claims.
