SAD NEWS! SERIOUS INJURY TO IDOL! NOBODY EXPECTED THIS! IT SHAKES THE NFL! 49ERS NEWS!

[Music] hey guys let's get more news about San Francisco 49ers but first don't forget to subscribe and leave your like 49ers roster cuts for surprising decisions made the San Francisco 49ers 53 man roster is official while some decisions at certain positions were predictable the 49ers made five surprising decisions with their final roster Cuts here is what they were the 49ers placed running back Elijah Mitchell on injured reserve effectively ending his 2024 season Jordan Mason was always going to be the backup to Christian mcaffrey Mitchell's placement on IR further confirms that seeing the 49ers call it quits on him was a surprise since he had recently returned to practice but it looks like the 49ers want to move on with Mitchell in the last year of his deal injuries have been a common theme for Elijah Mitchell since his rookie season he has struggled to find consistent health so his role as a backup is fitting however the practice time missed due to a hamstring injury and Mason's emergence this year has done him in how on Earth did wide receiver Ronnie Bell make the final roster Cuts he's been a roller coaster ride throughout training camp and the preseason every opportunity the 49ers have given him has been squandered more times than not yet he made it as the seventh receiver on the roster seven receivers for the 49ers is a surprise so it's a double whammy with bell making it but it is likely because Brandon akak has been absent the 49ers can't assume that he will return soon and will be able to contribute immediately there's also Ricky piol who is slowly making his way back Bell's retention gives them depth until both of them can get it going of all the positions on the 49ers it was the tight end position that suffered the most cuts a total of five players were waved SL relased only George kle and Jake tanes are listed on the final 53 man roster seconde players Braden Willis and Cameron latu did not make it their failure to make the team isn't a surprise neither tight end showed to be impactful in any facet not even Eric sober who seemed to be the presumed number two tight end made it the 49ers were underwhelmed by the players at the position don't expect the 49ers to have only two tight ends for long Logan Thomas who was recently resigned and is now released again will probably be the player they bring back one of the most polarizing players on the 49ers is cornerback Ambry Thomas he might be the Ronny Bell of cornerbacks on the team it's always a roller coaster ride with him this preseason Thomas wasn't good at all it looked as if this was it for him especially after he broke his forearm well he somehow made it either the 49ers believe he is getting healthy soon or there's another move coming he could still end up on injured reserve it should all become clear on Wednesday when Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch hold their press conferences deer curbach the 49ers are still paying for the disastrous Trey Lance pick I don't need to tell you that the San Francisco 49ers made a mistake by drafting Trey Lance number three overall in 2021 the team admitted as much last summer when they traded the bust of a quarterback to the Dallas Cowboys for a measly fourth round pick it was a massive swing and a miss the kind that usually find a head coach and general manager on the hot seat if not out on the streets Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch feel no such pressure but that's not to say the team isn't dealing with the ramifications of trading up and picking Lance the ners 53 man cut day roster delivered on Tuesday shows the extent of the problem yes the ners have Superstar players all over the field but this roster is a mile high and an inch deep and it's made something else Crystal Clear picking Lance was a mistake but the bigger problem for the ners was trading those two first round picks 2022 2023 in the trade-up those were two high value picks that could have provided starter caliber players or at the very least worthwhile depth for the roster the NFL draft might be a crapshoot but first round picks stand the best chance of standing out early in their careers without those picks the ners roster depth is such an issue at some positions that the team has little choice but to add a few reinforcements from the list of players cut by other teams on Tuesday yes the ners are going to have to go dumpster diving do the ners have a Super Bowl caliber roster absolutely what else will you call a team that has three MVP caliber offensive players and two guys who can win defensive player of the year but will the Niners roster still look like a Super Bowl Contender after two or 3 months in this war of attrition we call professional football the root cause of this roster depth deficiency is clear-cut the ners simply have not drafted well enough in the last few seasons and when you're paying more than a handful of players topof the market salaries you need to fill out your roster with young see cheap players the ners haven't done that and it's this 2024 team's Achilles heel now the ners draft class of 2024 looks promising in practices and preseason games ultimately though we have no idea if any of their new crop of draft picks is any good they haven't played real NFL games yet we can however speak on the past two seasons the drafts where the ners lacked a first round pick thanks to the Lance trade and those drafts have proven to be a hot mess here's a list of all the hits from the ners 2022 draft class pry that's it Spencer berford Kalia Davis and Nick zel are French roster players at this point and everyone else has been cut or jettisoned the ners had nine picks in that draft the only starter the only reliable player really from the class was the last pick 49ers Elijah Mitchell out for the year amid flurry of injuries the San Francisco 49ers have closed an eventful training camp by finalizing their 53-man roster Brandon akak has not reported to Camp Trent Williams was unsurprisingly left off the roster and they made another eye-opening roster move running back Elijah Mitchell was placed on season ending injured reserve with a hamstring injury the 26-year-old back has spent his entire career with the 49ers and was a key contributor in each of the last three seasons while he is clearly behind Christian mcaffrey on the depth chart it is still a big loss for San Francisco the move leaves them with Jordan Mason Patrick Taylor Jr and rookie Isaac gendo behind McCaffrey each of those players now has a great chance to take over the second running back spot on the depth chart the 49ers know that they cannot overuse the injury prone McCaffrey and must get production from other places if it is on their roster they will figure out which player to give the carries to before week one against the Jets there are also options on the open market to come in and take some carries from mcaffrey Kareem hunt Jerick McKinnon and Matt braa are all insigned after training camp the 49ers have options to replace Elijah Mitchell in the regular season if they do they will once again be an Unstoppable force on offense the NFC West has three other teams who were looking to make the playoffs this season the Los Angeles Rams and a healthy Matthew Stafford are looking for another ring the Arizona Cardinals think they have it figured out and the Seattle Seahawks have a new coach the 49ers are not shoin for the playoffs this year and the Mitchell injury compounds that the expectation among fans and pundits is still that the 49ers will be in the running for the Super Bowl with Debo Samuel and Christian mcaffrey in the fold they will will still have one of the best weapons groups in the league given their history of developing young skill position players one of those four young running backs could become a great player the Mitchell injury has compounded the need to get Brandon aak back on the roster the 49ers receiver has held out all summer and has not given in at all on his contract demands there were rumors that he would be traded to the Patriots and Steelers throughout training camp those deals were not made the 49ers now must get him under contract and back on the field ahead of their week one matchup on Monday night football against the Jets and you fan what do you think of the situation of Elijah Mitchell leave your opinion in the comments
