49ers' Jamar Taylor: Promoted from practice squad

Taylor was promoted to the 49ers' active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor was added to the practice squad at the end of September and was elevated as an extra player for Week 4, and he'll now join the active roster in a longer-term capacity. The 30-year-old appeared in nine games last year for Seattle and had 22 tackles and three passes defensed.
