The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for their NFC Divisional Round clash with the Seattle Seahawks, but not without some key players on the sidelines. With only 48 active players allowed on the roster for game day, the team has to make some tough decisions. Here's a breakdown of the inactive players and the latest on those who are questionable.
Inactive Players:
- Ji'Ayir Brown (Safety): Brown won't be suiting up in Seattle after suffering a hamstring injury during the Wild Card round against the Eagles. This injury is a setback for the team, as Brown was a key defensive player.
- Fred Warner (Linebacker): Despite making a promising return to practice, Warner is officially listed as OUT for the game. He suffered a dislocated and broken ankle in Week 6 and has been working his way back, but the team decided to keep him inactive for the Divisional Round.
Questionable Players:
- Ricky Pearsall (Wide Receiver): Pearsall practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, but he is expected to play against the Seahawks. His availability is a positive sign for the team's offensive strategy.
- Dee Winters (Linebacker) and Luke Gifford (Linebacker): Both players were listed as questionable but are expected to play. They have been active participants in practice, indicating their likelihood to contribute on Saturday.
- Trent Williams (Offensive Tackle): Williams, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue, progressed to full participation in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He is ready to take on the Seahawks and will be a crucial part of the offensive line.
The 49ers' inactive list also includes other players who will be sidelined for the game. With a limited roster, the team must carefully manage its resources and strategy for the upcoming showdown at Lumen Field.
