Here’s Wednesday’s minor moves throughout the NFL:
Kansas City Chiefs
- Designated for return from IR: T Prince Tega Wanogho
San Francisco 49ers
- Designated for return from IR: DT Kalia Davis
Wanogho and Davis’ 21-day practice windows will open now. Wanogho’s addition to the active roster could add some well-timed depth on the offensive line as the team deals with an injury to starting guard Joe Thuney that could force him to miss time. Davis isn’t expected to make much of an impact on a deep 49ers defensive line rotation, but allowing Davis to return to practice following a high ankle sprain in December could give San Francisco a good look at one of the few defensive tackles they’ll still have under contract in 2024. It should also give Davis a head start on any offseason training plan.
Kalia Davis was a 6th round pick in 2022, but was supposed to be somewhat of a steal, due to him being hurt.
Well, he pretty much took a redshirt year, and then there were alot of solid reports about him, but he hasn’t really done much other than being an injury riddled depth piece with upside.
If he can get healthy for this offseason, it’ll be huge to see where he’s at from a developmental standpoint. This might be his last real shot to be a contributor for this 49ers roster, so I’m definitely wishing him the best.
He has shown some glimpses of his upside and potential when he’s gotten into some games, so there’s still some hope he can get that badluck injury bug behind him and move forward being a reliable, solid backup interior defensive tackle.
