The San Francisco 49ers are handing out some new jersey numbers as final cuts happen. Mike Davis starts things off.
The San Francisco 49ers are finalizing their 53-man roster, and with that comes some re-organization of uniform numbers. The NFL allows for a 90-man offseason roster, and when you combine that with the 49ers retired jerseys, there are not going to be enough numbers to go around. And so, we often have young players sharing numbers. Once cuts are made, numbers change.
This year, running back Mike Davis and cornerback Kenneth Acker each wore No. 20 through training camp.
