Well, folks, it’s time to break out the confetti and pop the champagne! Linebacker Jalen Graham is making his grand return to the San Francisco 49ers! In a rollercoaster of a ride, Graham was initially waived by the team while they made their tough 53-man roster cuts this summer. But hold onto your seats, because he was then scooped up and signed to the Washington practice squad.
The Big Announcement
On Tuesday, the 49ers sent a ripple through the football universe with the swoon-worthy news that they’ve signed Graham to their active roster.
A Look Back at Graham’s Journey
Drafted in the seventh round last year, Graham was an underdog worth rooting for. Coming in with a Rocky Balboa mentality, he participated in four games and made his presence felt on special teams, even pulling off a pivotal tackle.
No Corresponding Move Needed
In a refreshing move of simplicity in an often chaotic NFL world, the 49ers didn’t need any dazzling maneuver to slot Graham into their 53-man roster. Over the weekend, they placed defensive lineman Javon Hargrave and linebacker Curtis Robinson on injured reserve, but only had to make one addition at that time. Now, Graham fills the void with poise and promise.
Expect fireworks and fanfare as Graham gears up to make a significant impact on the gridiron! Stay tuned, faithful Niners fans—this season is shaping up to be one for the history books!
