San Francisco 49ers release initial 53-man roster following final cuts
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers announced their initial 53-man roster on Sunday after completing final team cuts. The group includes three quarterbacks made the squad, including Brock Purdy, Mac Jones, and Kurtis Rourke. Six wide receivers and nine defensive linemen were named to the active list, while Christian Kirk and Austen Pleasants were placed on injured reserve with return designations. Other players, including Brett Toth and Nick Zakelj, were placed on injured reserve without return designations, and Isaac Guerendo and Mykel Williams were added to the PUP list. The team expects further adjustments to the roster as players clear waivers and the organization evaluates the status of injured personnel. These moves serve as the baseline for the roster leading into the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia.
