49ers preseason Week 1 snap count shows rookies were given opportunities to make plays

We have discussed the winners and losers from the San Francisco 49ers already this morning. Now, here are the snap counts and PFF’s highest and lowest graded players from Saturday’s game. The Niners rested 28 players for their preseason opener.

Offense

On offense, only 28 players registered a snap.

Snap counts don’t dictate exactly how things play out, but if you’re a veteran workhorse for multiple games in the preseason, your roster chances are not ideal. Draft picks are going to get more work to help them get comfortable, but if you’ve been in the league more than one year, a high snap total in the preseason might be indicative of how things are going to play out.
