After a quick, three-game preseason slate and more than a month of training camp, the 49ers’ initial, 53-man roster has finally arrived.

The San Francisco 49ers announced the following roster moves, with distinctions between veteran players who were released and not subject to waivers, and younger players who are subject to the waiver wire.

The following players have been released:  

Pos.          Name                                            

TE             Troy Fumagalli 

S               Tashaun Gipson Sr. 

CB            Dontae Johnson 

WR           Marcus Johnson 

TE             Tyler Kroft 

OL             Jordan Mills 

WR           Willie Snead IV 

DL             Akeem Spence 

QB            Nate Sudfeld 

DL             Kemoko Turay 

WR           Malik Turner 

DL             Jordan Willis 

The following players have been waived:  

Pos.          Name                                            

DL             Kevin Atkins 

DL             Alex Barrett 

CB            Tariq Castro-Fields

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, two players, in tight end Tyler Kroft, and defensive end Jordan Willis, will be promptly re-signed after both Jimmie Ward and Curtis Robinson are placed on injured reserve.

That will leave the 49ers with four tight ends and 10 defensive linemen, while trimming their ranks to three safeties and five linebackers.
