The San Francisco 49ers cut down to 75 players on Monday, with ten releases, and four injury list moves. We've got the list.
The San Francisco 49ers formally announced their roster moves to get down to 75 players, and we have some surprises. The team released defensive tackle Lawrence Okoye and fullback Trey Millard, ending a pair of experiments that apparently never quite took off.
Okoye signed as an undrafted free agent in 2013, with no experience in American football. He spent 2013 on injured reserve, and then spent 2014 on the practice squad. He showed improvement this year, but it would appear the team felt his climb was going to be too much for the 49ers to extend his opportunity any further.
