Here is a look at the San Francisco 49ers initial 53-man roster for the 2022 season.

Quarterback (3): Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy

On Monday, the 49ers shocked most observers when they finalized a new deal to bring Jimmy Garoppolo back to serve as the backup to Trey Lance.

Brock Purdy was consistent in three preseason games, beating out Nate Sudfeld for a roster spot.

Running Back (6): Elijah Mitchell, Jeff Wilson Jr., Tyrion Davis-Price, Trey Sermon, Jordan Mason and Kyle Juszczyk
