The San Francisco 49ers placed defensive end Tank Carradine on injured reserve, the team announced Monday.

San Francisco signed linebacker Mark Nzeocha from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad to replace the roster spot of Carradine, who sustained a high ankle sprain in Thursday's 41-39 setback to the Los Angeles Rams.

The 27-year-old Nzeocha, who was a seventh-round selection in the 2015 draft, collected four tackles in eight games for Dallas over the last two seasons.
