What happened: Klay Kubiak highlighted the guards' explosiveness and continued improvement. He also praised young players' preseason performances while discussing internal competition.

By the numbers: NFL teams must reduce rosters from as many as 90 players to 53 by 6 p.m. ET Sunday.

What to watch: Watch which guards receive the final-game snaps and how San Francisco allocates its reserve offensive-line spots.
