The San Francisco 49ers have finalized their initial 53-man roster following the conclusion of their preseason. The roster moves include placing several players on injured reserve and the physically unable to perform list ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia.
The team’s quarterback contingent consists of Brock Purdy, Mac Jones, and Kurtis Rourke. The offensive lineup features star running back Christian McCaffrey alongside Jordan James and Kaelon Black, while wide receivers include Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel among six total selections at the position. Key defensive contributors include defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Fred Warner leading a defense composed of nine defensive linemen, seven linebackers, six cornerbacks, and four safeties.
Several notable players have been placed on injured reserve with return designations, including wide receiver Christian Kirk and offensive lineman Austen Pleasants. Additionally, running back Isaac Guerendo and defensive end Mykel Williams were placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the season. The team will likely make adjustments to the roster in the coming days as injured players are evaluated and additional roster moves become necessary.
