The deadline for the cuts to a 75-man roster is September 1, so Saturday’s game against Denver will be the last chance for a number of San Francisco 49ers to make an in-game impression before they get sent on their way.
While people who are in danger at the 75-man limit aren’t usually threats to make the team, getting one more game could be key for picking up a practice-squad role, be it with the 49ers or another team around the league.
That means, for about two-dozen players, Saturday’s game is an audition for one final chance to make an impression.
