San Francisco 49ers manage roster changes before the regular season opener

The San Francisco 49ers head into the start of the 2026 NFL season facing roster uncertainty at key positions. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the team has yet to settle on a starting left guard or a backup running back ahead of their upcoming schedule. In official roster moves, the 49ers re-signed safety Ashtyn Davis and punter Corliss Waitman to one-year contracts. To accommodate those additions, the team placed cornerback Nate Hobbs and linebacker Nick Martin on the injured reserve list. Additionally, the Kansas City Chiefs acquired defensive tackle Bryson Eason after he was released by San Francisco. The team continues to evaluate its depth across the roster as it prepares for an upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams.
