49ers place practice squad WR Devin Funchess on injured reserve, restore S Kai Nacua
The San Francisco 49ers have placed newly signed practice squad wide receiver Devin Funchess on injured reserve, per the NFL transaction wire and first reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
The 49ers announced Funchess' signing on November 24.
The Carolina Panthers made Funchess a second-round draft pick in 2015. Throughout his six-year career with the Panthers (2015-18), Indianapolis Colts (2019), and Green Bay Packers (2020), he has appeared in 62 games with 41 starts and registered 164 receptions for 2,265 yards and 21 touchdowns.

49ers place newly-signed safety on injured reserve, re-sign Kai Nacua to practice squad
On Wednesday, the San Francisco 49ers signed safety Doug Middleton to the practice squad. One day later, the team placed him on the injured reserve list.
The situation has prompted the 49ers to re-sign safety Kai Nacua to the practice squad. San Francisco released Nacua on Wednesday as part of a move to make room on the practice squad for Middleton and linebacker Justin March.
The 49ers initially signed Nacua to the practice squad on November 24, 2020. He spent part of last season on the active roster and signed a one-year extension to remain with the team on February 11.

How Do the 49ers Replace Injured Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley?
Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley has been playing some really good football this season. He took over the starting corner role in Week 3. Since then, he has been the 49ers' best corner. He's actually been a player who hasn't been talked about enough, and his play this season has been underrated. Moseley has given up just a 56% completion percentage, has defended 10 passes, and has not allowed a touchdown on 51 targets, according to Pro Football Reference.
He was playing good ball to start the game against the Seattle Seahawks, even forcing an incomplete deep pass to wide receiver DK Metcalf. Once he went down, quarterback Russell Wilson targeted his replacement, rookie corner Deommodore Lenoir. Lenoir immediately gave up a deep ball to Metcalf, was called for pass interference,
49ers preparing for 'toughest game of the year' against Seahawks
Things have been uncharacteristically bad for the Seattle Seahawks lately.
After starting the season 2-2, with one of those wins coming on the road against the 49ers in Week 4, the Seahawks have struggled as much as any team in the NFL, losing six of their last seven games. The offense has been problematic while quarterback Russell Wilson hasn't found his top form since returning from finger surgery, and at this point it seems likely they'll miss the postseason for only the second time since 2012.
The 49ers have been moving in the opposite direction, winning their last three games after a 3-5 start while picking up momentum towards a possible playoff run. But despite the way things have been trending, the 49ers aren't getting overconfident at all about their
