UPDATE: 49ers announce roster moves ahead of season finale in Arizona -bb

On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers announced the following roster moves ahead of the 2024 season finale against the Arizona Cardinals:

  • Promoted DL Alex Barrett from the team’s practice squad
  • Promoted LB DeShaun White from the practice squad
  • Elevated WR Trent Taylor from the practice squad (standard elevation)
  • Elevated OL Drake Nugent from the practice squad (standard elevation)
  • Placed OL Spencer Burford on IR (injured reserve)
  • Placed LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles on IR

Barrett has appeared in two games for the 49ers this season. He only recorded two tackles in those two games. Barrett played some on defense, but most of his 2024 snaps came on special teams.

White entered the NFL after signing with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2023. The 49ers signed the former Oklahoma Sooner to the practice squad right before the 2024 season. He has not appeared in any games with the team.

Taylor and Nugent are both being flexed from the practice squad as standard elevations, meaning both will return to the practice squad after the game. Taylor appeared in one game for the 49ers this season but was in on only two plays. Nugent has not appeared in any games but was elevated to the active roster last week.

Burford lost his starting job to rookie Dominic Puni during training camp but has been active for 15 games this season. He has not started any games in 2024 but has played along the offensive line due to injuries to other offensive linemen, mostly filling in for LG Aaron Banks. Burford was placed on IR with a calf injury.

Flannigan-Fowles started three games for the 49ers in 2024. The linebacker will finish the season on IR after making 17 tackles. Flannigan-Fowles also suffered a calf injury that will keep him out for the final game.

The 49ers will square off with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and would like a win to end the season on a high note.
