Karageorge’s sister said he has a history of sports-related concussions, including one a month ago.

While disappointed, as a father I will use this as a teachable moment to help my daughter grow.”
After the game, Cassie Baalke, a college freshman, tweeted, “Greg Roman can take a hike. The 49ers don’t want you no more.”
Cassie later deleted the tweet and her Twitter account.

The Seattle Seahawks placed rookie linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis on injured reserve Friday and claimed rookie cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts.

Pierre-Louis filled in well amid injuries to Bobby Wagner and Malcolm Smith at midseason. He finished his first season with 13 tackles.
Purifoy is the second Colts cornerback the Seahawks have acquired this season; they traded for Marcus Burley in late August.
