Practice squad candidates include Valdez, receiver Russell Gage, tight end Brayden Willis and linebacker Curtis Robinson. If Gage lands there, he could be someone the 49ers elevate to the active roster on game days early in the season. With Demarcus Robinson suspended for three games and Brandon Aiyuk beginning the season on the physically unable to perform list, Ricky Pearsall and newly acquired Skyy Moore are the team\u2019s only healthy receivers at the moment.\u201c<\/p>\n

How 49ers are using Bills, Rams rebuilds as inspiration for roster reshuffle<\/a>
\u201c\u201cI\u2019d go broadcast for years in Seattle; I did a lot of Seattle games,\u201d Lynch told Breer. \u201cAnd I always thought Pete [Carroll] and John [Schneider] understood that really well, that you play young guys. You may not be there early in the year, but they get better. They get better, and if you can hang with them, love them up, and teach them, you\u2019re gonna be a competitive, really good team. And the young guys tend to stay a little healthier. They can practice, and then you can compete late in the year. There are a lot of blueprints. We\u2019ve got to embrace it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analyzing 49ers\u2019 initial 53-man roster, and where changes still could be made<\/a>
\u201cThe 49ers\u2019 defensive line received a boost as Gross-Matos passed his physical after missing all of training camp with a knee condition. That gives the 49ers some much-needed depth and a veteran presence. Undrafted rookie Sebastian Valdez likely was on the very edge of the bubble after showing some promise in training camp and early in the preseason. Some team could claim him off waivers. If not, he will likely be back on the 49ers\u2019 practice squad.\u201c<\/p>\n

The 49ers might get away with all these moves to set up other moves to set up three more moves. If they do, they should be applauded for their creativity and their gumption.
But Shanahan and Lynch have a lot of work left to do this week, at a time when they probably wish they were far more settled and their roster looked far less haphazard.\u201c<\/p>\n
