The San Francisco 49ers have parted ways with the following three players, reaching the 80-player limit required by 1 p.m. PT today.
- LB Jeremiah Gemmel (waived)
- TE Tanner Hudson (released)
- OT Sam Schlueter (waived/injured)
Sam Schlueter emerged from Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings dealing with some knee tendinitis and was
expected to be day-to-day.

The 49ers needed to clear five roster spots before today's deadline. Earlier today, general manager
John Lynch announced that San Francisco would place cornerback
Jason Verrett on the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list to start the season. Rookie defensive tackle
Kalia Davis will start on the reserve/non-football-injury (NFI) list.
Jimmy Garoppolo remains on the roster for now, as none of today's moves involved the veteran quarterback. Before today's practice, general manager John Lynch was asked if the 49ers need to do anything with Garoppolo before today's deadline.
"No, he's doing great," Lynch responded, per
Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group.
This is the second roster cut-down deadline ahead of the 2022 season. The first took place on August 16, when NFL teams had to get to a maximum of 85 players. In one week, by 1 p.m. PT on August 30, NFL teams will need to reach the 53-player roster limit.
Between now and then, the 49ers will place the Houston Texans in their preseason finale and then have 17 days until their regular-season opener at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers offer Deebo Samuel assurances regarding roster status
Amidst swirling trade rumors surrounding Brandon Aiyuk, the speculation surrounding Deebo Samuel's future with the San Francisco 49ers seems to have quieted down.
According to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle, the 49ers have assured Samuel that he will not be involved in any pre- or post-draft transactions, ensuring his place on the roster for the time being.
"Samuel, who signed a three-year, $71.55 million extension before the 2022 season, has been assured by his bosses that he will not be dealt during or after the draft," Silver reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

49ers mailbag: Will Brandon Aiyuk be on the roster on Friday morning? Will SF draft another quarterback?
We're just over 24 hours before round one of the NFL Draft begins. The San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to have their first pick in the opening round since 2021 when they drafted Trey Lance. That didn't turn out well, but there is optimism that the team will be able to make its roster better over the next few days.
GM John Lynch spoke on Monday and said there's a possibility the team could trade out of the first round. I doubt that would go over well with the fanbase, especially since they haven't had a first-rounder in the past two years. But if it's a good trade that lands the 49ers some quality picks, we could see that happen, especially if there aren't any players at pick 31 that the team is excited about.

7-round mock draft has 49ers adding 2 legacy players
Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus unveiled a seven-round mock draft for the San Francisco 49ers, addressing several key needs for the team in the 10-pick projection. Interestingly, the mock draft sees the team adding two legacy players. But before delving into that, let's examine the first three selections.
Sikkema has the 49ers shoring up their offensive line at pick No. 31 with the selection of former Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan.
Morgan allowed 14 pressures and two sacks in his 477 pass-blocking snaps at left tackle in 2023. He earned an impressive pass-blocking grade of 87.3 and an overall grade of
