According to Matt Barrows, the 49ers have placed CB Asa Jackson (hamstring) on their injured reserve list.
The move is a corresponding roster move to signing CB Leon Hall on Tuesday.
Jackson, 27, is a former fifth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2012. He spent the first three years of his career in Baltimore before he was waived as the team cut their roster down to 53 players.
Jackson was waived with the injury designation before later reverting to the team’s injured reserve list. Baltimore wound up waiving him not long after, but he managed to catch on to the Bengals practice squad at the end of November.
The Cardinals signed him to a future/reserve contract in January of last before cutting him loose coming out of the preseason. He was on and off of the Ravens’ practice squad before catching on with the Lions toward the end of last year.
The 49ers signed him to a contract back in August, then signed him to their practice squad after waiving him. San Francisco promoted him to the active roster and appeared in four games this season.
In 2016, Jackson appeared in four games for the Lions and recorded seven total tackles and one pass defense.
