4 veterans cut by 49ers who could return to 53-man roster
There are a handful of veterans the San Francisco 49ers released who should be in the mix to come back to the 53-man roster as free agents.
The San Francisco 49ers released four veterans on Sunday in order to reach the NFL's 53-player limit ahead of their Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. Among those cut were punters Corliss Waitman and Jon Weeks, who had both had successful preseasons. Weeks, in particular, had a good year last season and recently re-signed with the 49ers on a one-year deal.
They could both be re-signed by the team before Week 1. Left guard Robert Jones, while not expected to start, would likely remain on the roster as a depth player. Wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge, the 49ers' top special teams player in preseason, is also likely to return to the team, possibly on the practice squad.
