The San Francisco 49ers have released running back Jeff Wilson Jr., according to multiple reports on 26 Aug 2025. The move comes as the team trims its roster ahead of the league’s 53-man deadline. Head coach Kyle Shanahan had praised Wilson’s preseason performance, but the club is expected to explore bringing the 28-year-old back on its practice squad if he clears waivers. The 49ers also waived linebacker Chazz Surratt as part of Tuesday’s roster reductions. Further transactions are anticipated in the run-up to next week’s regular-season opener.
