49ers cuts not claimed off waivers, team claims nobody

The San Francisco 49ers cut ten players on Monday. None were claimed on waivers, so they remain on the radar for the practice squad later this week.

The San Francisco 49ers made ten roster cuts on Monday, and according to Matt Maiocco, none of the players were claimed off waivers. Maiocco also reported the team did not place any claims.

The 49ers likely had a variety of reasons for releasing different players. On Tuesday, Jim Tomsula spoke specifically about Lawrence Okoye. He made an interesting case for the value of releasing Okoye on Monday instead of with final cuts.
