Kyle’s update, 10:49 a.m. PT: The 49ers officially announced the release of running back Matt Breida. Running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn was also released. The following three players were waived:
P Pressley Harvin III
OL Lewis Kidd
WR Jontre Kirklin
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the San Francisco 49ers released their first player as roster cuts get underway. Running back Matt Breida has been released.
Breida was recently signed as more of a training camp body when rookie Isaac Guerendo was injured, and the same was true with Elijah Mitchell.
Mitchell remains sidelined, but Guerendo more than earned his roster spot when he made his debut this past Friday in the preseason and took a kick return for a touchdown.
