Identifying San Francisco 49ers on the roster bubble

Quarterback (0)

Kurtis Rourke will likely start the season with an injury designation, and Tanner Mordecai will be on the practice squad. 

Running back (2)

Corey Kiner, Patrick Taylor 

Corey Kiner is a sleeper to make the team, and Patrick Taylor made it last year. 

Wide Receiver (3):

Junior Bergen, Isaiah Neyor, Equanimeous St. Brown 

Two rookies and a potential veteran who could sneak on due to special teams value. 

Tight End (1):

Brayden Willis 

Can the versatile tight end force himself onto the roster again?

Offensive line (5):

Matt Hennessy, Nick Zakelj, Andre Dillard, Connor Colby, Drake Nugent 

Two or three of these linemen are going to make the roster. Colby could push guys like Zakelj and Dillard, while Nugent could push Hennessy, making none of them locks. 

Edge rusher (2)

Sam Okuayinonu, Robert Beal 

Okuayinonu may be the #1 player on the bubble, making him a near lock. 

Interior Defensive Line (3)

Evan Anderson, Kalia Davis, Kevin Givens

The question is which one or two of these three make the team. 

Linebacker (3)

Taum Bethune, Curtis Robinson, Jalen Graham 

The 49ers likely have two spots for these three players. 

Cornerback (1)

Jakob Robinson 

The UDFA from BYU could make the team if he can win the backup slot job. 

Safety (1)

Marques Sigle 

Sigle is a lock if Malik Mustapha starts the season with an injury designation and may be a lock regardless with a fifth-round draft designation.
