The New York Giants on Monday claimed former 49ers tight end Kaden Smith off waivers.
The 49ers waived Smith on Saturday in order to promote running back Jeff Wilson from the practice squad to help compensate for the loss of Tevin Coleman to a high-ankle sprain.
The move paid immediate dividends for the 49ers, as Wilson was active for the game and scored his first two career touchdowns on runs of 2 and 4 yards. He gained 34 yards on 10 rushing attempts.
