49ers 53-Man Roster Projection Heading Into OTAs

Now that the San Francisco 49ers are heading into OTAs it is a good time to look at what a potential 53-man roster would look like. Who are the players on the roster bubble that could benefit from this week?

San Francisco 49ers pre-OTAS 53-man roster

Quarterback (2) - Brock Purdy, Mac Jones

Kurtis Rourke is the player to watch in OTAs, but he should end up on the practice squad. 

Running Back (4) - Christian McCaffrey, Kyle Juszcyzk, Jordan James, Kaelon Black

The big question will be Isaac Guerendo and if his special teams value is enough to make the roster. 

Wide Receiver (6) - Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, Christian Kirk, De’Zhaun Stribling, Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing 

Jacob Cowing is going to enter the week on the roster bubble. His ability to win both return jobs could be what spares him. However, he is far from a lock at either. 

Tight End (3) - George Kittle, Jake Tonges, Luke Farrell

The question this week will be about how quickly rookie UDFA Khalil Dinkins can push Farrell.

Offensive Line (10) - Trent Wiliams, Carver Willis, Jake Brendel, Dominick Puni, Colton McKivitz, Vederien Lowe, Enrique Cruz, Robert Jones, Connor Colby, Brett Toth 

The big question will be rookie fifth-round pick Enrique Cruz and how quickly he can push Austen Pleasants, who will be firmly on the roster bubble this summer.
