Overview

  • San Francisco inked veteran running back Jeff Wilson Jr. and defensive end Trevis Gipson to one-year deals to shore up depth.
  • Ameer Abdullah was placed on season-ending injured reserve after sustaining a rib injury in the preseason opener against Denver.
  • Quarterback Tanner Mordecai was waived to free up a roster spot and offensive tackle Andre Dillard was activated off the physically unable to perform list.
  • Shoulder and finger injuries to Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James plus a high-ankle sprain for rookie Jordan Watkins have further depleted the depth chart.
  • Christian McCaffrey continues to sit out preseason games as he rehabs a PCL sprain but remains on track for the regular season opener.
