The San Francisco 49ers trimmed their roster, releasing several players including veteran punter Thomas Morstead, who's expected to re-sign soon. Promising rookie Sebastian Valdez was also waived, surprising many. The team kept only two healthy receivers due to injuries and suspensions. Several players, like Russell Gage and Brayden Willis, are candidates for the practice squad. The 49ers' initial roster is considered a draft, with further adjustments expected as they build their practice squad and address weak positions.
