49ers release RB Marlon Mack, sign DT T.Y. McGill to the practice squad

The San Francisco 49ers are at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, where they will spend the week practicing for their Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The 49ers announced the following roster moves.

• RB Marlon Mack released
• DT T.Y. McGill signed to the practice squad

The team elevated running back Tevin Coleman from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers. Mack was among the 49ers' seven inactive players against the Panthers and was the only healthy scratch. General manager John Lynch also recently expressed confidence that running back Ty Davis-Price might be nearing a return.

"I think we're feeling some promising news about Ty Davis-Price being ready here in the near future," Lynch shared last week. "His rehab's going really well."

San Francisco will hold its first of three full practices this week on Wednesday at 1:48 p.m. Eastern Time.

The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
