The San Francisco 49ers have begun their 90-man cutdown ahead of Tuesday's deadline to get to 53 players, announcing a release of Taco Charlton with an injury settlement after placing him on Injured Reserve earlier this preseason.
With the IR designation, Charlton didn't count toward the 90-man roster anyways, as the 49ers essentially announced his season was over by placing him on the list before the year.
Charlton, a standout at times during training camp, could've been a potential practice squad player, but an undisclosed injury and the Injured Reserve move took out any chances of that occurring.
Now, the 49ers' focus goes toward the 53-man roster, as they'll need to cut 37 players before assembling their 17-man practice squad.
Of course, roster politics will be on display, as the 49ers will likely place a couple of players on Injured Reserve after adding them to the 53-man roster, allowing for certain cut candidates to make the roster after the initial cutdown date.
The 49ers have several candidates to make the 53-man roster at defensive line, although the room is arguably weaker depth-wise compared to recent years, meaning the team may not carry as many players at the position as they've done in the past.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan jumped on a conference call with reporters on Friday afternoon, the day after the team's 30-12 win over the New York Giants. Shanahan provided several injury updates.
Linebackers Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Dre Greenlaw emerged from Thursday night's game with low-ankle sprains. Both are day-to-day. The good news is that players have some extra time off before returning to work on Monday, when the 49ers begin preparing for the Arizona Cardinals.
The only other player who was banged up in the Week 3 contest is wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The 49ers initially feared a rib injury, but
