The San Francisco 49ers are in the midst of an active preseason as they prepare for joint practices with the Denver Broncos. The team is making significant roster changes, with the addition of defensive linemen, a safety, and a cornerback, while also making some surprising cuts, including kicker Greg Joseph. The competition for the kicking position appears to have been resolved in favor of rookie Jake Moody, who now faces the pressure of delivering in upcoming preseason games. The team is dealing with several injuries, necessitating additional roster moves to ensure they have enough players for joint practices and preseason games.

Notably, the release of Isaiah Neyor, a rookie wide receiver who showed promise in camp, raises questions about the team's evaluation process. The discussion highlights the ongoing competition within the team and the challenges of balancing player depth with performance expectations. As the preseason progresses, the 49ers will need to closely monitor player performances, particularly Moody's, to ensure they are fielding the best possible team moving forward.
