San Francisco 49ers Release Defensive Lineman Naquan Jones

The San Francisco 49ers released defensive lineman Naquan Jones on Tuesday to clear a potential roster spot for wide receiver Christian Kirk, whose 21-day practice window recently opened. Jones appeared in three games this season and totaled two tackles before becoming expendable following the return of James Thompson from an ankle sprain. In his six-year career, Jones has accumulated 104 tackles and 6.5 sacks across 63 appearances.
