NFL teams needed to trim their rosters down to 80 players each by today at 1 p.m. PT. The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have accomplished that with the following roster moves.
Placed on injured reserve:
LB Mychal Kendricks
Waived/released:
DL Shilique Calhoun
WR River Cracraft
OL Corbin Kaufusi

The 49ers open the season with a road game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, September 12.
