Get ready for some intense NFL action as the San Francisco 49ers gear up for their NFC Divisional Round showdown against the Seattle Seahawks! But here's a twist: not all players will be in the game. Let's dive into the latest team news and find out who's in and who's out.
The 49ers' Inactive List: A Strategic Move
In a highly anticipated matchup, the 49ers have finalized their roster for the big game, with only 48 players active on game day. This means some key players will be missing from the field. Let's break it down.
Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall and linebackers Dee Winters and Luke Gifford were initially listed as questionable. However, they've made the cut and are expected to suit up against the Seahawks on Saturday. Pearsall and Winters have been practicing with limited capacity, and Gifford returned to limited participation after missing the initial practice sessions.
On the offensive line, T Trent Williams has progressed well, moving from limited to full participation. He's good to go and doesn't carry any game-time concerns.
But here's where it gets controversial... Safety Ji'Ayir Brown, unfortunately, won't be joining his teammates in Seattle. He suffered a hamstring injury during the Wild Card win over the Eagles, and it's a significant blow to the team's defensive plans.
And this is the part most people miss... One of the biggest stories of the week has been the return of LB Fred Warner to the practice field. After suffering a severe ankle injury in Week 6, Warner was initially expected to be out for the season. But the team opened his practice window this week, and he's been looking good in practice. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Warner won't be activated for Saturday's game. He's officially listed as OUT.
So, here's the 49ers' inactive list for the Divisional Round:
