The San Francisco 49ers must cut down to their initial 53-man roster by 1:00pm Tuesday. That process has already begun with the team releasing Nate Brooks, La’Darius Hamilton, Breeland Speaks, Kyahva Trevino and Spencer Waege on Sunday.
Here is my projection on how the initial roster will shake out.
Quarterback (3)
Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold, Brandon Allen
The trade of Trey Lance on Friday makes this an easy one. San Francisco sees Brock Purdy as their franchise quarterback.
Darnold has been up and down throughout his career, however this is the best situation he’s found himself in.
