49ers News: Roster cuts begin

49ers 53-man roster projection: Who's heading to Australia? (Paywall) "I think there are two immediate IR-return designations that will happen before cuts: Lowe and Kirk. Waitman would be back immediately after cuts. Okoronkwo will likely be the same.

Kurtis Rourke, Brett Toth, Ephesians Prysock, Nick Martin and/or Luke Gifford give you five potential roster spots created via IR. Malik Mustapha might be another option there, but you probably want him as soon as he's available. There are, of course, mystery injuries that we could find out about later for other players.

It's less that there are a bunch of players on the bubble and more about the 49ers navigating weird ways to sneak everybody onto the team. As usual, we'll probably get their roster cuts after everyone else."
