Russell Gage Jr.

Russell Gage Jr. has been released by the 49ers, but the team is hoping to re-sign him to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

The 49ers have cut Gage from their active roster, but they still want to keep him around as a member of their practice squad, provided that he doesn't choose to sign with a different team. If he lands back in San Francisco, the team is planning to elevate him to the active roster for Sunday's season opener against the Seahawks, which will help to shore up the depth in their receiving core.
