49ers Player Cut, Sent Home Before Australia Game
7 Sep
Summary
- Brayden Willis was cut from the 49ers and sent home from Australia.
- Long snapper Jon Weeks was promoted to the active roster.
- Kareem Khalid was claimed off the Falcons' practice squad.
San Francisco 49ers tight end Brayden Willis faced an abrupt departure, being cut from the team and sent home after preparing for a trip to Melbourne, Australia. This decision was made to accommodate the promotion of long snapper Jon Weeks to the active roster. Weeks had previously been released to meet the 53-man roster deadline but was subsequently added to the practice squad.
The move regarding Willis raises questions about his future, as he could be claimed by another team or potentially rejoin the 49ers' practice squad. This situation also suggests a positive health update for tight end George Kittle, who had been recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. The team has also added Khalid Kareem from the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad, adding another player facing the considerable travel to Australia.
