Overview

• The 49ers placed defensive end Bradlee Anae on injured reserve after their preseason opener, removing him from the roster for the season.
• Wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk, Jordan Watkins and Jauan Jennings are all sidelined by injuries, with Demarcus Robinson facing a possible suspension, leaving the team’s receiver room significantly depleted.
• San Francisco signed veteran wideout Malik Turner to a one-year deal, tapping his recent success in the UFL and prior experience in Kyle Shanahan’s system for quick integration.
• The team worked out and agreed to add edge rushers Demone Harris and William Bradley-King to bolster a defensive line hit by multiple ends rehabbing injuries.
• Coaches are leaning on Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle in practice drills and will use joint sessions and preseason games to evaluate which temporary additions can stick.
