The 49ers leading preseason pass rusher is head to the practice squad.
The San Francisco 49ers surprised a lot of fans on Saturday when they decided to cut outside linebacker Marcus Rush. The 2015 UDFA signings spent last season on the practice squad, and then emerged in a big way this preseason. He had six sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception.
Unfortunately for Rush, it was not enough to secure a roster spot. That being said, he seems to remain hungry for an opportunity. A good attitude will only get you so far, but it’s good to see he is motivated.
