49ers make roster moves, sign S C.J. Spillman

The San Francisco 49ers claimed safety C.J. Spillman off waivers from the San Diego Chargers. Spillman was cut by the Chargers earlier this week after playing five games this season with the team.

To make room for Spillman the 49ers waived CB Tramaine Brock. If he clears waivers then the 49ers will likely sign him to the practice squad. In order to sign Brock, the 49ers waived FB Jehuu Caulcrick.

Spillman (6-0, 199), was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He played in five games as a rookie (1 start), totaling seven tackles.

Born in Louisville, KY, Spillman graduated from Marshall University where he was a two-time second-team All-Conference USA honoree, totaling 319 career tackles and three interceptions.
