As is Arik Armstead, Christian McCaffrey, and both starting safeties
Initially, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy would dress against the Los Angeles Rams. Purdy was set to be the No. 3 emergency quarterback. There’s been a change of plans, as Purdy will not dress today.
Fullback Kyle Juszczyk was added to the injury bug with an undisclosed illness over the weekend. He wasn’t the only one, as Trent Williams and Jake Brendel were also added with an illness. We’ll see how that impacts the playing time for each.
Jaylon Moore and Ben Bartch will presumably play the majority of snaps at left tackle and center today. Here are today’s inactives:
QB Brock Purdy
DT Arik Armstead – foot
RB Christian McCaffrey – calf
S Tashaun Gipson – quad
S Ji’Ayir Brown – knee
CB Ambry Thomas – hand
WR Jauan Jennings – concussion
It’ll be a day where the youngsters get plenty of run against the Rams. Here are their numbers:
TE Brayden Willis – 9
CB Darrell Luter – 28
LB Jalen Graham – 50
Edge Robert Beal – 51
Taylor Hawkins will wear No. 41, as he’s one of three safeties healthy.
