The San Francisco 49ers announced that the team has officially placed cornerbacks Jamar Taylor and Ken Webster on injured reserve. The team also waived safety Chris Edwards.
Taylor and Webster were both injured during Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Taylor suffered a torn ACL, and Webster sustained what head coach Kyle Shanahan described as a "pretty severe hamstring pull." The injuries end their seasons.
Taylor finishes the season with 22 tackles, two tackles for a loss, two quarterback hits, a sack, two interceptions, and three passes defensed through eight game appearances.
Webster has recorded 25 tackles, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble through 17 game appearances during his two NFL seasons.
Edwards spent the offseason with the 49ers but was waived on August 4. The 49ers re-signed him on November 24.

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.

Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team.
