Sam Okuayinonu Went On Injured Reserve And The Long Snapper Came Up

San Francisco placed Sam Okuayinonu on injured reserve and signed defensive lineman Khalid Kareem to a one-year deal on Friday, and on Saturday, from Melbourne, signed long snapper Jon Weeks off its practice squad and waived tight end Brayden Willis. Two men off the 53, two on, and the count holds. Matt Maiocco reports Okuayinonu is out indefinitely with a foot injury sustained at Wednesday's practice in Santa Clara, and gives Kareem's two seasons under Raheem Morris in Atlanta as most of the reason he is the replacement. The Weeks signing closes a question that has been open since cut day: San Francisco carried no long snapper on its active roster for six days, and a practice-squad player may be elevated to a game-day roster no more than three times in a season. Kickoff at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is Thursday at 5:35 p.m. Pacific, which is Friday morning there.
