Rumph

Coach Mike Nolan suggested the move, believing it would help get the team’s four best pass defenders in the secondary at the same time. Rumph will get a tough test in Randy Moss right away.

Rumph missed four tackles in the team’s preseason opener. B.J. Tucker and Sammy Davis have had stronger training camps.

While it’s no lock either team gets an impact player, the Redskins needed secondary help more than the Niners needed another underachieving receiver. Rumph and Jacobs, both former early-round picks, were unlikely to avoid their former teams’ final cuts.

Good news for the Saints receivers and Aaron Brooks, their week two match-up. San Francisco already had a thin secondary.

The starting cornerback has missed the last two games with a groin pull. Jimmy Williams would return to the bench if Rumph is good to go.

Rumph did not return to the game. He was replaced by backup cornerback Jimmy Williams.

Jimmy Williams and Shawntae Spencer will continue to get a lot of time in the 49ers secondary.

Jimmy Williams takes over for Rumph.

He’ll be out 8-12 weeks with the injury, so we’d imagine he’ll be put on injured reserve. Jimmy Williams and Shawntae Spencer will get more playing time in the 49ers secondary.

Rumph tore the plantar fascia in his foot and will spend his second straight season on the IR.
