I'm no expert but as far as I know, rookies who had not signed when the rosters were finalized for release are always included in the game on their appropriate teams. In the unusual case of Michael Crabtree, he held out well after the start of the season so he was removed from the 49ers with a roster update. When he finally signed in October, he was placed back on the 49ers.

As of right now, I'm sure all drafted rookies, signed or unsigned, are in the game on their teams and will remain through any roster updates unless they are cut or have a prolonged holdout like Crabtree.

Let's not forget how rare a Crabtree-style holdout is anyway.
