San Francisco 49ers lose two players to waiver claims by other teams

The San Francisco 49ers did not submit any successful waiver claims following the league's final roster cuts on August 31, 2026. During the waiver process, the team lost defensive tackle Bryson Eason to the Kansas City Chiefs and cornerback Darrell Luter Jr. to the Las Vegas Raiders. Eason, an undrafted rookie from the University of Tennessee, recorded two run stops and a pass breakup during the preseason. Luter, a 2023 fifth-round pick, served primarily as a special teams contributor and depth option before being claimed. With these departures, the 49ers have moved their remaining waived players to the status of unrestricted free agents. The team is now eligible to sign players to fill out their practice squad and adjust the margins of the 53-man roster.
