The San Francisco 49ers have officially announced the trade to acquire Houston Texans defensive end Charles Omenihu in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft pick. Omenihu must pass a physical for the trade to be executed. The trade was first reported this morning by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

San Francisco also announced the following roster moves.


Released:
LB Tyrell Adams

Waived:
K Joey Slye

Released from the practice squad:
LB Nathan Gerry
RB Jacques Patrick
DL Eddie Yarbrough

Placed on the practice squad injured reserve list:

Parting ways with Slye is a good indication that the 49ers are confident that kicker Robbie Gould will return for this weekend's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
