The 49′ers made a minor roster today, picking up just released kick returner Allen Rossum, who was let go by the Steelers on Saturday.  Rossum was a late training camp addition for the Steelers, and was their primary kick returner last season, taking one back against the 49′ers for a touchdown in their week three contest at Heinz Field.  Overall, Rossum took back 38 kicks for 885 yards for a 23.3 average.  He also plays conerback, but really plays that role on a limited basis.  Last season at corner he made just five tackles for the Steelers.
