The 49ers had until 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday to get down to 80 players on their roster. The team didn’t announce any moves at the deadline, however. With Mychal Kendricks and Maurice Hurst both expected to miss a month, the Niners would have to get creative.
Players placed on the injured reserve before September 1 cannot return during the regular season. However, with how impressive Hurst has been during the preseason, it was unlikely San Francisco would place him on the injured reserve.
Cuts will be tricky for the Niners as they have depth issues at offensive tackle and along the defensive line with a few guys banged up at those positions.
