49ers Roster Moves and QB Depth | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers finalized their roster with mostly expected moves, but a few surprises: defensive tackle Bryon Eason and DB Darrell Luter Jr. hit waivers—Eason went to KC, Luter to LV. Punter Corliss Waitman returns on a one-year deal, while long-snapper Jon Weeks heads to the practice squad. At QB, Brock Purdy’s health and play are solid, Mac Jones is acclimated, and Kurtis Rourke’s potential is rising. WR Mike Evans’ physical issues open the door for young talents De’Zhaun Stribling and Jacob Cowing, with Demarcus Robinson as a key connection to Purdy. On defense, the DL faces questions replacing Collins and West, with James Thompson Jr. showing promise but facing an early tough test. The LB corps may shift based on Jaden Dugger’s development. The secondary is solid but unflashy; Renardo Green’s starting role hinges on forcing turnovers, while Malik Mustapha and Ji’Ayir Brown lead the safeties. Specialists Pineiro and Waitman shined in camp, but the team now seeks a new long snapper. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
