Prior to the NFL’s roster cutdown deadline, the San Francisco 49ers are making changes to their wide receiver room. Following Robbie Chosen Anderson and Jontre Kirklin on Monday, the 49ers reportedly waived another speedy pass catcher on Tuesday.
According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the 49ers have released former third-round pick Danny Gray after two seasons with the 49ers.

Quickly after being selected in the third round of the 2022 draft out of SMU, Gray broke onto the scene with a 76-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Trey Lance in the preseason. However, Gray struggled to get on the field in the regular season.
In two years, Gray played 13 games with the 49ers, recording only one catch for 10 yards. Gray added one rush for nine yards in his time with the 49ers.
With Gray, Chosen and Kirklin all released, the 49ers’ depth chart behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings features rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing along with Ronnie Bell, Tay Martin, Trent Taylor and Chris Conley.
The 49ers will have until 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday to shave their roster down to the final 53 players.
