The San Francisco 49ers announced Tuesday a series of roster moves. The 49ers signed fourth-year NFL S Donald Strickland to the 53-man roster. To make room on the 53-man roster the team waived CB B.J. Tucker.
In addition, the 49ers waived PK Shaun Suisham and T Sam Wilder from the practice squad and signed LB Renauld Williams to the practice squad.
Strickland (5-10, 187) was originally a third-round draft pick by Indianapolis in 2003 out of Colorado. A native of San Francisco, Strickland started 12 games for the Colts from 2003-04 before being waived midway through the 2005 campaign. He was signed by Philadelphia last November and played in three games for Philadelphia. During his three NFL seasons, Strickland has started 12 of 19 games and three postseason games. He has totaled 54 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble.
Williams (6-0, 238) spent part of last season on the practice squad and the active roster of the 49ers, seeing action in two games. He was in training camp this past season with San Francisco but was waived prior to the start of the regular season.
Suisham joined the 49ers practice squad last Tuesday when a position opened up following QB Gibran Hamdan’s signing from the 49ers practice squad to the Seattle 53-man roster.
Wilder went to training camp with the 49ers and then joined the practice squad.
