49ers Cut Veterans: Who Will Be Re-Signed?
31 Aug
Summary
- Four veterans cut by the 49ers may return to the roster.
- Punter Corliss Waitman and long snapper Jon Weeks are expected back.
- Other veterans like Robert Jones and KhaDarel Hodge are potential re-signees.
The San Francisco 49ers initiated their roster adjustments on Sunday, aiming to finalize a 53-player limit for their Week 1 matchup. While initial cuts have been made, the team plans to re-sign several vested veterans. This strategy allows the 49ers to retain key players who might otherwise seek opportunities with other teams.
Punter Corliss Waitman, who had a strong preseason, is expected to be the team's punter. Long snapper Jon Weeks, a reliable player from last season, is also anticipated to re-sign. Both are considered likely candidates to return once the roster is settled.
Additionally, offensive lineman Robert Jones and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge are on the team's radar. Jones, who vied for a starting role, could provide valuable depth. Hodge, noted for his special teams contributions during the preseason, might also be brought back or signed to the practice squad, depending on other roster developments.
