Navies waived; Keasey bumped up

Hannibal Navies won't be assigned to cover tight end Jeremy Shockey tomorrow. Why? The veteran linebacker was waived today and fullback Zak Keasey will take his spot on the active roster. Keasey was active for two other games this season, playing mostly on special teams.
Navies, meanwhile, had been doubtful for tomorrow's game against the Giants because of a knee injury. Another player, special teams ace Keith Lewis, won't play because of an injured hamstring. The roster move likley was done to bolster the 49ers' special teams unit.
