The 49ers open the regular season on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium. And after a weekend of cuts and one waiver claim, here is how their 53-man roster shapes up at the beginning of the regular season:
Quarterback (2)
C.J. Beathard*
Brian Hoyer
There was never a question from the moment the 49ers targeted and signed Hoyer on the first day of free agency that he was the starter. Beathard beat out Matt Barkley for the backup job, but Barkley is only a phone call away in case he is needed due to an injury.
