The 49ers are moving on from their 2021 third-round pick who has underwhelmed since joining the team.
The 49ers swapped players on their 53-man roster on Wednesday afternoon, waiving a recent draft pick in order to add to the offensive line.
Running back Trey Sermon, San Francisco’s 2021 third-round pick out of Ohio State, was waived to make room for Blake Hance, a guard claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Browns. Sermon, entering his second year at age 23, had an underwhelming preseason following an injury-plagued rookie year. The 49ers running back depth now includes workhorse Elijah Mitchell, Jeff Wilson Jr., rookie third round pick Ty Davis-Price and undrafted rookie Jordan Mason along with fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
Hance, 25, adds depth to a relatively young and inexperienced offensive line behind veterans Trent Williams and Mike McGlinchey. He played 17 games and played in 58% of offensive snaps with the Browns last season after bouncing between practice squads in prior seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets.
The 49ers also placed safety Jimmie Ward and linebacker Curtis Robinson on the injured reserve list. Replacing them on the roster are tight end Tyler Kroft and defensive Jordan Willis, who were part of the initial cuts Tuesday before they signed one-year deals to return to the team Wednesday.
