The San Francisco 49ers released their first "unofficial" depth chart of the 2022 preseason. It is worth noting that the depth chart was compiled by the 49ers Communications staff and not the coaching staff, thus the "unofficial" label. It offers fans the best guess at what to expect as the team heads into its first preseason game.
