Special Teams

Kicker: Robbie Gould

Punter: Bradley Pinion

Long-Snapper: Kyle Nelson

Not any surprises here.

All three members on this list were shoo-ins to make the cut. The only questionable position battle was at kicker, where veteran Robbie Gould got to watch Nick Rose take some of the field-goal and extra-point attempts.

Rose had some moments but also missed an extra point during the 49ers’ final preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

This didn’t change Rose’s chances to make the Niners roster, rather set him back a bit on the prospects of landing elsewhere.
