The San Francisco 49ers Communications staff has released the first unofficial depth chart of the regular season as the team prepares to play the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, September 13.
The game will be televised on FOX with Kevin Kugler and Chris Spielman in the broadcast booth and Laura Okmin on the sidelines.
While team depth charts can be interesting, it is important to note that the coaching staff does not compile them, and you shouldn't read too much into them while trying to determine playing time for specific players.
Running back Raheem Mostert and wide receiver
Deebo Samuel are all listed as starters on offense. Samuel's status for Week 1 remains unclear. The team remains hopeful that he will play despite being less than three months removed from suffering a Jones fracture.
At right guard, the depth chart lists "Daniel Brunskill OR Tom Compton," giving no hint at who might start on Sunday. Compton and the 49ers
recently agreed to a reworked contract.
On defense, defensive tackle Solomon Thomas is listed as a starter over rookie
Javon Kinlaw. The depth chart lists "Emmanuel Moseley OR Ahkello Witherspoon" as the starting cornerback opposite Richard Sherman.
You can view the entire depth chart below.
Below is the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart heading to Week 1.

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
PFF high on this cornerback for 49ers in mock draft
Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic grades former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa as a second or third-round draft pick and ranks him 55th overall on his big board. Pro Football Focus, however, holds a higher opinion of the young defensive back. In his latest mock draft, the site's lead analyst, Sam Monson, has the San Francisco 49ers selecting Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"T.J. Tampa fits the prototype of a 49ers cornerback," Monson explains. "He has had consecutive seasons of very impressive play and allowed just 240 yards on 49 targets last season. The team doesn't necessarily need him to make an immediate impact, but they could
If the 49ers draft a wide receiver, don't expect it to be a smaller guy
The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.
If Aiyuk is extended, it
Potential 49ers defensive draft target visiting this week
Last week, it was reported that the San Francisco 49ers planned to host former Kentucky cornerback Andru Phillips on a pre-draft visit. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirms that the visit will take place during the upcoming week, which marks the final opportunity for such visits to occur.
Phillips will also meet with the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans this week.
Adding a noteworthy tidbit to the social media post, Garafolo mentions, "A likely second-round pick, though some evaluators have first-round grades on
