The San Francisco 49ers might have a “big” decision to make as Saturday’s roster cuts approach. Defensive tackles Sheldon Day and D.J. Jones have both impressed during practices and preseason games, and it is now fair to ask if this could result in the release or trade of Earl Mitchell.
Day can play some nose, but Jones is the one who is most likely to supplant Mitchell on the roster. Two weeks ago, Jones was a member of Pro Football Focus’ team of the week for preseason Week 2.
