The San Francisco 49ers Communications staff has released the first unofficial depth chart of the regular season as the team prepares to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, September 8.
The game will be televised on FOX with Kenny Albert and Ronde Barber in the broadcast booth and Lindsay Czarniak on the sidelines.
While team depth charts can be interesting, it is important to note that they are not compiled by the coaching staff and you shouldn't read too much into them while trying to determine playing time for specific players.
With that being said, Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin are listed as the starting wide receivers while Matt Breida is listed as the starting running back.
On defense,
Arik Armstead is listed as the right defensive end with rookie
Nick Bosa listed as Dee Ford's backup on the left side. The starting linebackers are shown to be
Dre Greenlaw (SAM),
Fred Warner (MIKE), and Kwon Alexander (WILL). Jimmie Ward, not Tarvarius Moore, is listed as the starting free safety.
The depth chart has Pettis listed as the primary punt returner on special teams.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations.

Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
