The San Francisco 49ers and the rest of the NFL cut their rosters down to 53 today as the preseason comes to an end. The 49ers surprised a few by cutting WR Jordan Matthews and LB Elijah Lee.
Other notable 49ers cuts include Adrian Colbert, Antone Exum, Joshua Garnett, Marcell Harris, Elijah Lee, Jordan Matthews and Jeff Wilson. San Francisco will try to get several of those players to the 49ers practice squad, but there is no guarantee they’ll make it through waivers.
In the video above and below, Mott breaks down the 49ers' 53-man roster, and the Depth Chart as we head into Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season.
The 49ers also made the move to injured reserve official for RB Jerick McKinnon. He'll miss the entire 2019 season after re-injuring the knee that made him miss almost all of the 2018 season as well.
