<h2>49ers Preseason Finale Recap</h2>
<p>The 49ers' final preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers might not have been the most exciting affair. The prospect of Jim Harbaugh coaching Trey Lance in their return to Levi's Stadium seemed more intriguing in theory than in execution.</p>
<h2>Performance Observations</h2>
<p>Trey Lance completed 5 of 8 passes for a modest 38 yards before leaving the game. This prompted us to shift our focus from the game result (which the 49ers won 30-23) to analyzing their 53-man roster projection.</p>
<h2>Roster Cuts Approaching</h2>
<p>The 49ers must trim their roster by 37 players by 1 p.m. on Tuesday, after which they will establish a 17-man practice squad, likely re-signing several cut players.</p>
<h2>Quarterback Outlook</h2>
<p><b>Quarterbacks on the 53:</b> Brock Purdy, Mac Jones. <b>On the practice squad:</b> <i>Kurtis Rourke</i> (NFI). <b>Cut:</b> Tanner Mordecai, Carter Bradley. The team may choose to carry only two QBs on the active roster, utilizing the practice squad for further development of Bradley or Mordecai.</p>
<h2>Running Backs and Receivers</h2>
<p><b>Running backs on the 53:</b> Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo, Brian Robinson Jr., <i>Jordan James</i>, Kyle Juszczyk (fullback). <b>Cut:</b> Jeff Wilson Jr., Ke’Shaughn Vaughn.</p>
<p><b>Wide receivers on the 53:</b> Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, Russell Gage, <i>Jordan Watkins</i>, Skyy Moore. <b>On injured reserve:</b> Brandon Aiyuk, among others. <b>Cut:</b> Robbie Chosen, <i>Junior Bergen</i>.</p>
<h2>Tight Ends and Offensive Line</h2>
<p><b>Tight ends on the 53:</b> George Kittle, Luke Farrell, Brayden Willis. <b>Cut:</b> Jake Tonges. It’s possible the team could opt to keep four TEs due to Shanahan's usual practice.</p>
<p><b>Offensive linemen on the 53:</b> Trent Williams, Ben Bartch, Jake Brendel, Dominick Puni, Colton McKivitz, Spencer Burford, <i>Connor Colby</i>, Nick Zakelj, Austen Pleasants. <b>Cut:</b> Matt Hennessy, <i>Drew Moss</i>.</p>
<h2>Defensive Line and Specialists</h2>
<p><b>Defensive linemen on the 53:</b> Nick Bosa, <i>Mykel Williams</i>, Kalia Davis, Bryce Huff, Jordan Elliott, <i>CJ West</i>, Evan Anderson, <i>Alfred Collins</i>, Sam Okuayinonu. <b>Cut:</b> Robert Beal Jr., <i>Sebastian Valdez</i>.</p>
<p><b>Specialists on the 53:</b> Jake Moody, Thomas Morstead, Jon Weeks. While Moody had a decent preseason performance, there were hiccups that drew coaching frustration.</p>
