49ers Practice Squad Watch List | NFL News

0:00It's September 2nd. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Corey with the story. Alright, let's talk about the San Francisco 49ers practice squad and who might be making their way to the main roster. The team has finalized their practice squad and there are a few guys who could get the call-up. Keep an eye on players like Wider Seever Wesley Grimes, who's a rookie looking to develop. Then there's Isaac Olerconn, part of the International Pathway program, though he wasn't really pushing for a starting spot. We've also got Will Pauling, another rookie UDFA who's been getting some reps as a returner. He's currently behind Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing in that department. Linebacker Jalen Graham is in a tough spot with six guys ahead of him and the potential return of Nick Martin could make things even tighter. Meanwhile, on the defensive side, Jalen Strowman, a rookie from Notre Dame, faces stiff competition with Ashton Davis and Ceren Neal already on the team.

1:00Cornerback Jacob Robinson is another name to watch, while he's depth at slot. Any injury to another corner could see him promoted. Better and Catero Hodge offer solid depth at receiver, and though there are several guys ahead of him, the 49ers have needed receiver depth in the past. At tight end, with Braden Willis already dealing with injuries and George Kittle returning from his own, the team might lean on practice squad. Players Sebastian Valdez, a defensive lineman who surprisingly cleared waivers is another strong candidate for a quick call-up, especially given his performance on the edge of making the roster. Finally, running back sincere McCormick is seen as a near lock to get promoted from the practice squad, and at linebacker, Augbo Ocaronco could be crucial for depth, especially with Michael Williams out. Youngstapper John Weeks is also expected to be on the active roster for week 1.
