The San Francisco 49ers put offensive
lineman Tony Pashos on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a fractured
scapula in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
The 29-year-old Pashos made his first start at right tackle in place of Adam
Snyder on Sunday. Snyder and Pashos had been sharing the right tackle duties
prior to Sunday's defeat.
Snyder, who moved inside to share right guard responsibilities with Chilo
Rachal, will likely move back to right tackle with Pashos being lost for the
season.
Pashos, who was in his seventh NFL season, signed with the 49ers on September
7 after being cut by Jacksonville, where he played in 2007-08. The 6-foot-6,
326-pound Illinois product spent his first four years in the league with the
Ravens.
Also on Tuesday, San Francisco released linebacker Marques Harris and promoted
linebacker Diyral Briggs to the active roster.
