The 49ers acquired offensive tackle Shon Coleman earlier this evening, but that wasn’t the only transaction for the club. San Francisco has also begun trimming its roster in advance of Saturday’s roster deadline.
The following players have been cut by the 49ers:
- OL J.P. Flynn
- RB Ja’Quan Gardner
- G Chris Gonzalez
- QB Jack Heneghan
- DL Chris Jones
- P Jeff Locke
- T Pace Murphy
- WR Aldrick Robinson
- TE Wes Saxton
- DL Will Sutton
- OL Darrell Williams
- RB Joe Williams
Williams was a fourth-round pick in the 2016 draft, but he’s being pushed off the roster by veterans such as Alfred Morris and Raheem Mostert. Locke lost out in his camp battle with fourth-year punter Bradley Pinion. Robinson has followed 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to each of his three stops.
