The San Francisco 49ers are coming off their Week 11 bye, preparing for a road contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12.
It’s a game that could see some notable roster changes. Following the team’s 27-23 Week 10 loss to the New York Giants, Shanahan hinted at the idea a good deal of roster shuffling could take place between now and the season’s conclusion.
Why not? At 2-8, the Niners are already looking harder at 2019 and determining which pieces have the best shot to stay in place. And that ultimately means whittling down the excess, evaluating which players and groups won’t hold a spot when it comes to creating the roster next season.
