San Francisco 49ers practice squad roster: full list

The San Francisco 49ers are officially done with the preseason, which means that cut day came and went as the roster was trimmed to just 53 players. John Lynch is by no means done acquiring talent, however, as the 49ers are trying to fill out the remainder of their practice squad.

As Brock Purdy has shown, you never truly know when any seldom-used backup player will be called into action. As a result, San Francisco is indebted to create the deepest collection of talent in the league.

The practice squad is starting to take shape. While the list will assuredly change in the coming weeks, it looks like the talent on display in San Francisco is quite impressive.

San Francisco 49ers practice squad roster: full list

EDGE Jonathan Garvin

A former seventh-round pick of the Green Bay Packers, the Miami alum piled up 32 tackles and 1.5 sacks over the last three seasons.

SAF Tracy Walker

Walker spent parts of the last six seasons with the Detroit Lions, recording four sacks and three interceptions as an occasional starter. The 49ers signed him with the intention to elevate him to the Week 1 roster.

WR Tay Martin

Martin, who spent his college career at both Washington State and Oklahoma State, is back with the 49ers practice squad for the third straight season. He hasn't earned a role with the team yet, but Kyle Shanahan sure likes keeping him around.

CB Chase Lucas

TE Mason Pline

QB Tanner Mordecai

Mordecai bounced around between SMU and Wisconsin in college. A solid athlete with an accurate arm, Mordecai will be the fourth-string quarterback.

OT Isaac Alarcon

OG Sebastian Gutierrez

DT Evan Anderson

IOL Drake Nugent

DT T.Y. McGill

WR Trent Taylor

Taylor, a diminutive 5-8, 178-pound receiver, returns to the same team who drafted him in the fifth round.

SAF Jaylen Mahoney

EDGE Alex Barrett

TE Brayden Willis

Willis will be a backup tight end one year after getting picked in the seventh round. At least he beat out Cameron Latu.

WR Terrace Marshall

A former second-round pick and member of a champion LSU team, Marshall will try to get back on track in San Francisco.

What are the NFL practice squad rules and regulations?

NFL practice squads can hold up to 16 players in total, with one of them being allowed as an international pathway player. Practice squads can hold as many as six veterans, two of which are vested veterans with a minimum of two seasons under his belt.

During the regular season, teams have the ability to sign players from other teams' practice squads onto their active roster. However, teams can also elevate two players to their roster. Practice squad players can be elevated a maximum of three times before they must be added to the active roster.
