49ers fill open roster spot with CB elevate 2 others before Week 13

The San Francisco 49ers have made some roster changes ahead of their Week 13 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.

One day after waiving wide receiver Ronnie Bell, the 49ers filled his roster spot by promoting cornerback Nick McCloud from the practice squad. After signing with the practice squad in November, he will now retain a spot on the 53-man roster.

McCloud has played in two games for the 49ers this season, contributing 19 special teams snaps and no defensive snaps. He's expected to continue to be a special teams ace for San Francisco, but he also provides depth at CB with Deommodore Lenoir ruled out and Renardo Green listed as questionable.

The 49ers also added linebacker Jalen Graham and offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez to the roster for Sunday's game. Graham will provide depth at LB and play on special teams. Gutierrez, who was re-signed to the practice squad on Friday, will play an important role at OL after Trent Williams and Aaron Banks were sidelined due to injuries.
