The 49ers made their final roster cuts to the regular-season limit of 53 players ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
Some players who didn’t make the initial 53-man roster received encouraging news shortly after as San Francisco announced 15 players of its 17-player practice squad Wednesday.
Among those players were quarterback Tanner Mordecai, who showed flashes of his potential during the 49ers’ three preseason games and veteran wide receiver Trent Taylor.
Here are the 15 players signed to the 49ers’ practiced squad:
OL Isaac Alarcon*
DL Evan Anderson
DL Alex Barrett
DL Jonathan Garvin
OL Sebastian Gutierrez
CB Chase Lucas
S Jaylen Mahoney
WR Tay Martin
DL T.Y. McGill Jr.
QB Tanner Mordecai
OL Drake Nugent
TE Mason Pline
WR Trent Taylor
S Tracy Walker III
TE Brayden Willis

This leaves the 49ers with two final spots on the team’s practice squad, although reports indicate there might already be a 16th man on the way to the squad.
The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reported, citing a source, that San Francisco also signed former Carolina Panthers receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. to the practice squad.
Per source, Marshall is being signed to the practice squad. https://t.co/q3pOnGyjn8

Once and if the 49ers make that signing official, that leaves them with one final spot to fill.
