Obstacles are nothing new for Cody Schrader. The former Missouri running back was handed another Tuesday, being released by the NFL's San Francisco 49ers. Tuesd
Tuesday was the final cutdown day for NFL teams ahead of the regular season, which begins Thursday, September 6. Teams went from preseason rosters of up to 90 players to an initial 53-man squad.
All-Pro fullback Kyle Juszcyzk also takes up a roster spot for rushers. Juszcyk shared some high praise for Schrader's work ethic during training camp.. "He works his absolute tail off. He’s very intelligent. He just goes out there and plays a good consistent clean game and we’ve really enjoyed having him.”
More likely, however, Schrader will be added to San Francisco's practice squad. Any practice squad player can be elevated to the team's game day roster three times throughout the season without actually being on the active roster. After transferring to Missouri, Schrader rushed for 691 yards and eight touchdowns on 157 carries in 2022, splitting the backfield with Nate Peat. Schrader exploded on to the scene in 2023, leading the SEC with 1,627 yards on 276 carries. His 14 rushing touchdowns were tied for the second highest in the conference.
