The San Francisco 49ers are halfway through their preseason schedule, and a big week is upon us. The third week of the preseason schedule is the “dress rehearsal” game. The team is going through a normal practice week, will play their starters the most snaps of the preseason, and might even try a little game-planning.
I put together a 53-man roster projection last week following the team’s preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. Since then, the team has added some players and finds itself dealing with several injuries. Most notably, offensive lineman Erik Magnuson could be out up to two months a hamstring injury, and running back Joe Williams is out through at least the rest of the preseason with a rib fracture.
