After a quick, three-game preseason slate and more than a month of training camp, the 49ers’ initial, 53-man roster has finally arrived.
The San Francisco 49ers announced the following roster moves, with distinctions between veteran players who were released and not subject to waivers, and younger players who are subject to the waiver wire.
The following players have been released:
Pos. Name
TE Troy Fumagalli
S Tashaun Gipson Sr.
CB Dontae Johnson
WR Marcus Johnson
TE Tyler Kroft
OL Jordan Mills
WR Willie Snead IV
DL Akeem Spence
QB Nate Sudfeld
DL Kemoko Turay
WR Malik Turner
DL Jordan Willis
The following players have been waived:
Pos. Name
DL Kevin Atkins
DL Alex Barrett
CB Tariq Castro-Fields
OL Alfredo Gutierrez
RB JaMycal Hasty
S Tayler Hawkins
CB Qwuantrezz Knight
WR Tay Martin
LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball
LB Segun Olubi
OL Jason Poe
OL Justin Skule
OL Keaton Sutherland
According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, two players, in tight end Tyler Kroft, and defensive end Jordan Willis, will be promptly re-signed after both Jimmie Ward and Curtis Robinson are placed on injured reserve.
That will leave the 49ers with four tight ends and 10 defensive linemen, while trimming their ranks to three safeties and five linebackers.
