The 49ers announced a pair of promotions to the active roster on Saturday afternoon ahead of Sunday’s contest against the Cleveland Browns.

Cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles and linebacker Curtis Robinson were both standard elevations from the practice squad. The lone time Jean-Charles saw the field was in Week 3. Robinson hasn’t seen a live game-rep since the first week of the season. He could be insurance if Dre Greenlaw, who is questionable with a hamstring injury, isn’t healthy enough to suit up.
