The 49ers’ initial 53-man roster lacks clout at defensive end, mainly because Nick Bosa has yet to report.
SANTA CLARA — How the 49ers’ roster evolves from today through Feb. 11 will be fascinating, especially if they’re indeed playing at season’s end for the Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas.The 49ers made their biggest roster move four days earlier, when they unloaded quarterback Trey Lance on the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick.
Roster depth and injury luck are fates the 49ers can’t answer, yet. So here are three issues with the roster at this point: What if Bosa’s holdout keeps him from playing in the season opener, which happened in 2017 with the Los Angeles Rams’ and Aaron Donald? The 49ers did not stock up on defensive ends this offseason, instead spending big for defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to ideally ride shotgun with Bosa.
Is rookie kicker Jake Moody going on Injured Reserve and thus missing his first four NFL games because of a quadriceps injury, prompting the 49ers to sign, perhaps, Tristan Vizcaino or another free agent in the coming days? This is the most compelling drama outside of Bosa’s contract. Luter hyperextended his knee in June, and he’ll be eligible to debut after four games, should the 49ers elect to activate him off the Physically Unable To Perform list.
