C.J. Beathard remains listed as 49ers’ third QB in latest depth chart

The San Francisco 49ers communications department released the team's second unofficial depth chart of the preseason. There had been some speculation leading into the exhibition matchup against the Denver Broncos that 49ers rookie C.J. Beathard might see some playing time earlier in the game, but he remains listed as the team's third quarterback.

"We haven't discussed it yet as a staff," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Saturday, "but I expect to see C.J. much earlier. I'll definitely have more of an answer for you guys later in the week on that."

Being third on the depth chart doesn't necessarily mean that Beathard won't see action earlier. The coaching staff could limit Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley's time in the game in order get Beathard in sooner and even give its fourth quarterback, Nick Mullens, some snaps.

The depth chart is also just an unofficial guide and not a commitment to where or when a player might play. Teams are required to release depth charts and they are subject to change.

Shanahan is not scheduled to speak to the media until after Thursday's practice, which will be the last before training camp breaks. 49ers general manager John Lynch is scheduled to speak to the media on Wednesday.

Rookie linebacker Reuben Foster is listed as the starting weak-side linebacker for the second straight week. On Tuesday, Shanahan indicated that Foster is the team's starting linebacker at that spot...until he isn't.

"He started the last game," Shanahan said. "He's been starting out in these practices. He's been getting most of the reps, which I believe he needs. But, by no means, no one is just, he could get beat out at any time. If our guys behind him – we've got some good players behind him too – if they started performing at a higher level than him, then that wouldn't be the case."

Below is the depth chart that was released and posted by our friends over at Niners Wire.

49ers achieve "dream scenario" in latest PFF mock draft

While news of Arik Armstead's impending release could potentially alter the San Francisco 49ers' draft strategy, we'll first have to wait to see how the team addresses its defensive front in free agency. Assuming the 49ers brain trust has a plan in place and can execute it properly, that would leave them free to address the offensive line next month. In the latest mock draft by analytics site Pro Football Focus, the 49ers are projected to do just that, with former Alabama tackle JC Latham falling to them at No. 31 overall. "Admittedly, this is a dream scenario for the 49ers," analyst Dalton Wasserman wrote in the pre-free agency

If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand. Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction. Ward described White as a "hand in glove
