Former NC State Defensive End Kentavius Street has been officially moved from the Injured Reserve to the 49ers Active Roster.

San Francisco drafted Street in the 4th round of the 2018 NFL Draft, despite the fact that he tore his ACL in a predraft workout. After missing the entirety of the 2018 season, Street was once again placed on the Injured Reserve on September 1st, having to undergo arthroscopic surgery.

Street was eligible to return after Week 8, and then was allowed to start practicing on December 4th.

The “Freak” is finally eligible to see his first action in the NFL after missing his first 29 games.

“I feel completely back to normal, now,” Street told reporters on Thursday. “Like, even coming back and practicing (during) training camp, OTAs, it still felt a little bit limiting. But right now is probably the best I’ve felt since prior to the injury.”

“Just getting him back out there, I know how hard he’s worked to get out there,” head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Friday. “I think each week, he’s gotten more of his legs under him.

“He’s been ready to go, but to get into football, practice, and everything, holding his gaps and stuff, looked in shape, healthy from the beginning and now getting these weeks of practice. He definitely looks ready to go this week and he’s getting his opportunity.” (Link)

Former NC State Cornerback Dontae Johnson has signed with the 49ers for the 3rd time this season.

Richard Sherman is going to miss a few games with a hamstring injury, opening up a need for Johnson once again.

Johnson started this season with the Niners, then was released before the season began. He was scooped up by the Chargers, playing the first 2 games for Los Angeles before being released.

He then signed with San Francisco on October 3rd of this year, and played in 5 games for them, recording 4 tackles (2 special teams), before being released once again.

This weeks transaction marks the 4th time that San Francisco has signed Johnson. They originally drafted him in the 4th round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Former NC State All-American Shortstop Will Wilson was traded by the Angels to the Giants’ organization on Tuesday.

After being drafted by the Angels with the 15th overall pick in the MLB Draft earlier this year, Wilson hit .275 in 46 games of Rookie ball with the Orem Owlz.

In his final season at NC State, Wilson led the team with a .335 batting average, 20 doubles, 16 home runs and a .661 slugging percentage, and finished eighth all-time in career doubles (57) and homers (39), and ninth in total bases (409).

Wilson is the 3rd highest draft pick in NC State history, and only the 2nd batter to be drafted in the 1st round, alongside another shortstop who is currently in the league as well: Trea Turner.

After some wondered if Quarterback Philip Rivers (starter) would be benched after two dismal weeks in Week 10 and 11, the Wolfpack legend has rebounded mightily. After recording a QB Rating of 106.3 in Week 13, Rivers was near perfect in the Chargers’ 45-10 thrashing of the Jags, with a QB Rating of 154.4, completing 16 of 22 for 314 yards and 3 touchdowns (0 interceptions). It was his best performance of 2019.
