Episode Details

The 49ers hit the ground running in 2026, facing the Rams on opening day—but first, they’ve got a roster purge to survive. With Brock Purdy and Mac Jones locked in at QB, Kurtis Rourke’s fate hangs by a thread after an injury sidelined him. Running back chaos brews without McCaffrey or James, while wideouts scramble with Pearsall out and Kirk banged up. Offensive and defensive lines are thinning fast, but the linebacker corps is stacked—deep enough to trade. Cornerback and safety spots are heating up, with potential moves via waiver wire or trade. Special teams? Locked down. The clock ticks: 53 players by Sunday—or risk getting cut.
