The 49ers had until August 31 to decide whether they wanted to activate certain players from the PUP list. That way, they’re eligible to play Week 1. If not, these players would have to sit out for six weeks.
Jaquiski Tartt had been recovering from a turf toe injury and was placed on the PUP list at the beginning of August. However, Tartt has been rehabbing along the side of the field during the past week or so and even running.
It was a good sign when the team placed Tartt on the PUP list and not the injured reserve.
