The San Francisco 49ers announced that they’ve promoted linebacker Curtis Robinson from the practice squad to the active roster. Robinson played 16 special teams snaps last week against the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback Adrian Martinez and tight end Brayden Willis were also elevated to the active roster.
To make room for Robinson, the team announced that they’ve waived defensive end Robert Beal, who was drafted in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. It’s been a rough week for the 2023 NFL Draft class—first kicker Jake Moody, now Beal.
Martinez will serve as Mac Jones’ backup. He was undrafted out of the 2023 NFL Draft. Martinez has not thrown a regular-season pass in the NFL. The 49ers are hoping it stays that way, although Kyle Shanahan did say he was happy with how Martinez ran scout team practice this past week.
Willis joins a tight end room that features Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell. Kyle Juszczyk figures to take plenty of snaps at tight end in the coming weeks. Shanahan said the roles of fullback and tight end are essentially interchangeable.
Russell Gage remains on the practice squad, which means Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, Kendrick Bourne, Jordan Watkins, Skyy Moore, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the 49ers’ wide receivers in Week 2. Watkins made a splash in the preseason. His speed could open up things for Pearsall and Jennings underneath.
