Each team is allowed to have 16 players on their practice squad. The 49ers can carry a 17th player with an exemption for international player Alfredo Gutierrez, an offensive lineman from Mexico.
Poe remains with the 49ers after coming to the team as an undrafted rookie from Mercer. Draft pick Nick Zakelj of Fordham secured the ninth and final spot on the 49ers' 53-man roster devoted to the offensive line.
The 49ers kept some veteran players who are candidates to be elevated on any given week to play in games, including safety Tashaun Gipson, edge rusher Kemoko Turay and wide receivers Malik Turner and Willie Snead IV.
