With their depth along the defensive front depleted because of a wave of recent injuries, the 49ers promoted rookie tackle Tony Jerod-Eddie from the practice squad to fill the roster spot of wide receiver Mario Manningham, who was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.
An undrafted free agent, Jerod-Eddie (6-5, 301) was signed by the 49ers on May 7 and has spent the season on the practice squad. He made 38 starts at Texas A&M and was a second-team All-Big 12 selection as a senior.
Jerod-Eddie got the call with defensive tackle Justin Smith sidelined indefinitely with a partial triceps tear and reserve tackle Demarcus Dobbs on injured reserve with a knee injury. In addition, tackle Will Tukaufu (neck) did not finish last weeks loss in Seattle and has been limited in practice the past two days.

I’m not really sure what the Seahawks fan thought Bowman was going to do to the sign when he handed it to him, but he couldn’t have been totally shocked that Bowman ripped it. I will say this, Bowman did just as bad of a job ripping that sign as the 49ers did playing defense on Sunday night. He’s a huge guy and he could only rip off a little corner? If you’re going...
