San Francisco trimmed to 53, releasing William Bradley-King and Chazz Surratt and waiving Jalen Graham as roster cuts loom. Bradley-King, a seventh-rounder with stints in DC, New England and Miami, was near the back of a crowded edge group. Surratt, a North Carolina standout with All-ACC and All-American honors, came up short in his bid for a reserve LB role after returning in May. Graham, Purdue product and 2023 draftee, was also released.

These moves thin San Francisco’s depth behind stars and could push younger players into preseason reps, with fantasy managers watching for any quick risers in the edge/LB mix. The team has a high-quality defense, but the cuts emphasize competition for reserve snaps and potential practice-squad elevations.

The San Francisco 49ers face challenges ahead of their matchup against the Green Bay Packers, with offensive lineman Jon Feliciano officially ruled out due to a knee injury. Feliciano, who recently signed a one-year extension, has yet to play this season after starting on injured reserve.

In a positive turn, the 49ers have promoted veteran safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. to the active roster. Additionally, linebacker Jalen Graham and cornerback Nick McCloud have been activated from the practice squad. Key players like Trent Williams and Brock Purdy remain questionable or out for the game.
