| 0:00.0 | After a month of drudgery on the practice field in Santa Clara and three pre-season games, |
| 0:05.5 | the 49ers on Tuesday finalized their initial 53-man roster. |
| 0:10.0 | That roster, of course, includes Brandon Iuk, and for now it does not include Trent Williams. |
| 0:16.0 | Aside from the other big names on the team, the initial roster also has a list of young players and veterans who impress the decision-makers and |
| 0:24.0 | show they are capable of making contributions now and into the future. |
| 0:28.0 | Jennifer Lee Chan and I will take a look at the 49ers initial 53-man roster, a list of players that includes one |

| 1:26.1 | season in the post season that weren't even on the team after the 53 originally came out last |
| 1:31.2 | year so it's never the end of a guy's story to be |
| 1:33.8 | released or cut on this day. They can always be brought back and Kyle Schimman |
