After a busy Tuesday that included a flurry of cuts, the San Francisco 49ers made changes to their roster to get down to the final 53 players on deadline day before the start of the regular season.
On Wednesday, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan were busy again. However, this time it was adding players to the practice squad. The 49ers reportedly welcomed a former second-round pick from the Carolina Panthers. According to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, the 49ers are signing Terrace Marshall Jr.
