49ers Release Three Players

The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have released cornerback Ahmed Plummer, wide receiver Johnnie Morton and defensive end Chris Cooper.

Plummer, a former first-round draft pick of the 49ers, played seven seasons in San Francisco. In 2001, Plummer enjoyed his best season with the 49ers, recording seven interceptions in 15 games. The 29-year-old only participated in nine games over the last two seasons due to injury.

Morton, acquired before last season, started in 10 of 13 games, catching 21 passes for 288 yards but didn't record a touchdown. Morton has spent 13 years in the NFL with Detroit, Kansas City and San Francisco.

Cooper, originally a sixth-round draft pick by the Raiders in 2001, spent last season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury suffered in training camp.
