With the regular season starting this weekend, Wednesday will be the first injury report of the year. Also, teams can protect four players each week from being poached by the practice squad.
The 49ers protected WR Travis Benjamin, QB Nate Sudfeld, and CB Dee Virgin for Week 1. There’s a good chance each player is elevated for Sunday’s game. This could signal Emmanuel Moseley being inactive and Benjamin serving as the punt returner.
In the most expected news of all-time, the 49ers re-signed CB Dontae Johnson to the practice squad and released rookie LB Elijah Sullivan.
