This could be an evaluation period for Davis
The 49ers are on the practice field today, and while Deebo Samuel is technically out, he has his jersey on and is working on the side of the field. His running mate, Brandon Aiyuk, said he believes Samuel plays on Sunday.
The 49ers announced that they opened the practice window for defensive tackle Kalia Davis, who is on the Injured Reserve List after suffering a high-ankle sprain on December 17. There’s no guarantee that the team will activate Davis before the NFC Championship game or even the Super Bowl. Still, it gives the team another body in practice and allows them to evaluate Davis.
Davis gave the team meaningful snaps in December when they were without Arik Armstead and Javon Hargrave.
Defensive tackle is a thin position not only now but moving forward. The team relied on Sebastian Joseph-Day, Javon Kinlaw, and Kevin Givens as backups against the Green Bay Packers this past week. Neither of those players are under contract next year.
