Kyle Juszczyk recently returned to practice after breaking his finger. If Juszczyk can't perform his usual duties or gets hurt again, Willis is his logical backup — assuming the team would have him on the active roster so he can play special teams. Juszczyk is entering the final year of his two-year contract. He's 35.

Juszczyk back from finger injury; age 35 and in final contract year; Willis groomed as successor.

Recently returned to practice after breaking his finger; entering the final year of his two-year contract at age 35. If Juszczyk can't perform his usual duties or gets injured again, Brayden Willis is positioned as his logical backup. The 49ers may be keeping Willis around as a potential successor if this ends up being Juszczyk's final year with the team, suggesting the team is planning for a fullback transition.
