NFL teams needed to trim their rosters down to 80 players each by today at 1 p.m. PT. The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have accomplished that with the following roster moves.
Placed on injured reserve:
- LB Mychal Kendricks
Waived/released:
- DL Shilique Calhoun
- WR River Cracraft
- OL Corbin Kaufusi
- CB B.W. Webb
"Mychal Kendricks has turf toe sprain," head coach Kyle Shanahan said this week before adding that the linebacker will "be out for a while."
One more roster cut-down remains. NFL teams must get down to 53 players by Tuesday, August 31. After that, NFL teams will begin preparing for Week 1 of the regular season.
The 49ers open the season with a road game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, September 12.
