Yahoo Sports NFL on Brayden Willis

Willis waived to make room for long snapper; unlikely to contribute with Kittle healthy.

49ers waived tight end Brayden Willis to make room for veteran long snapper Jon Weeks on the active roster ahead of Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. Willis, a seventh-round pick from 2023, had been on and off the roster for a couple of seasons. During preseason, he registered zero solo tackles on 32 special teams snaps and showed only a couple of impressive blocks on a down-to-down basis, making him unlikely to contribute. With Kyle Juszczyk practicing and George Kittle returning, Willis was not going to see the field.
