49ers Race to Finalize Roster for Australia | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers are racing against the clock to finalize their 53-man roster before jetting to Melbourne for their season opener — a unique twist with international travel and a three-and-a-half-point underdog status. With the deadline set for Sunday at 3 PM PST, teams must decide who stays and who goes, with players either released or waived depending on experience. Injured Reserve (IR) lets two players return after missing four games — but only if tagged upfront — while PUP-listed players can return once they practice or play. Veteran players (four+ years) become free agents; younger ones go through waivers, with the Niners ranked 27th — meaning they’ll likely wait to claim any released talent. Expect roster changes even by Monday night as teams scramble to make room. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
