49ers release unofficial depth chart heading into 2019 regular-season opener vs. Buccaneers

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.
