The 49ers have cut 20 players to get their roster to the 53-man limit. Here are the players that were cut today.
T Jacob Bender
T Alex Boone
WR Dobson Collins
DE Pannel Egboh
TE Joe Jon Finley
CB Eric Green
G Kyle Howard
CB Terrail Lambert
FB Brit Miller
DT Khalif Mitchell
LB Jay Moore
TE Bear Pascoe
WR Maurice Price
FB Bill Rentmeester
LB Justin Roland
RB Kory Sheets
G/C Matt Spanos
T Joe Toledo
LB Mark Washington
WR Dominique Zeigler
The team can designate eight players to the practice squad.
This must mean that WR Jason Hill and Micheal Spurlock are on the roster. But if Michael Crabtree signs, then one of them might get moved.
Also, the 49ers have only Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker at tight end. I thought the team might go with three, but that isn't the case. TE Bear Pascoe is the only draft pick to not make the team, but I expect him to be on the practice squad.
Head coach Mike Singletary is in a conference call to talk about the releases. Details coming up.

I was surprised to see Kory Sheets and Brit Miller waived, both played really well this pre season. I bet sheets will for sure be claimed by another team... :-/
Sheets and Miller are two I think will be on the practice squad. I hope that Sheets doesn't get claimed. And at this point, I don't think there is a team that will put him on their 53-man roster.
Got something to say?
