Predict the 7 inactive players for *Week 2*

This is the hardest thing for me to decide. Even with Bowman, Aldon, Dorsey, Lattimore, A.Davis out, it's very tough to figure out who the 49ers will, or should make inactive for tomorrow's game. I'm interested to see what everybody thinks, here's my best guess:

These are the only 4 guys I'm confident in predicting:
Josh Johnson (or Blaine Gabbert if that shoulder injury is something serious enough to keep JJ over him)
Anthony Davis (since he's hurt)
Marcus Martin (hurt)
Dillion Farrell (with Boone coming back, I guess we'll sit a OL)


A WR: I can't figure this one out, Boldin, Crabs, S.Johnson and Ellington are locks to me, I think BE is gonna be the PR/KR, the other 3 are obvious, after that, Osgood probably is active for ST's, that's 5, no way we keep 7 active, so that means Patton or Lloyd is inactive, Patton looked like he was up there on the depth chart in the PS & why keep Lloyd for week 1 guaranteeing his salary if he was gonna be inactive? This is a confusing spot to me, but somebody has to be inactive in this group.
A CB: Either Cook, Cox or Johnson, probably Johnson early in the season
A DL: Barrows predicted either Dial or Carradine, I just can't see that happening, Dial is needed as backup NT, Tank for his pass rush, especially w/Aldon out. Dobbs is my best guess.

Celek is a candidate if he isn't up to 100%.
I would also bet on CB Johnson.
Dobbs and/or Farrell though Farrell looks like a more obvious candidate since Dobbs can be a good backup at the d-line and has some ST value as well.

Summary:
-Celek
-Johnson
-Farrell

Celek is on the PUP

Offense:
QB: Josh Johnson although it should be Blaine Gabbert (3rd QB)
Y: Quinton Patton (7th WR)
ROT: Anthony Davis (Injured)
C: Marcus Martin (Injured)

Defense:
LDE/NT: Tony Jerrod-Eddie (7th DL abd Dial can play LDE and NT)
SAM: Aaron Lynch (4th OLB)
RCB: Dontae Johnson (Cook can play both sides and Cox can play outside as well)

Other possibilities:
H-Back: Derek Carrier (plays ST)
RDE: Tank Carradine & DeMarcus Dobbs (Dobbs has played ST in the past)

Good list NC! I pray Tank plays, we need to get him on the field and develop his pass rush, he has a big future here.

This ... no way Carradine is not on the active roster imo. I know it is not the case, but it should be McDonald. I know, another thread for that.

I'm hoping Tank and Lynch play. Can't have enough pass rushers against Dallas' strong passing offense.
But I think Lynch needs a little more time.

Though you say that it is POSSIBLE, I would say I don't see it like that at all. We need any pass-rushing threat we can get. Thus, I expect the Niners to activate Brooks, Skuta, Lemonier AND Lynch.

I also think that Patton will be inactive IF Crabtree is activated.

I thought that Carrier is our LS? Wait, what do you wanna tell with "other possibilities"? I'm too stupid to get it

TJE will be active

Our coaching staff loved Dobbs.. for some reason. He will play.

Kyle Nelson is our LS.

My question is if Boone is activated, and all signs point to that happening, who is getting released?

He is activated. We did not have to release anyone, we had a roster exemption and then put Dorsey on IR designated to return.

Activate Lynch and sit B.Loyd
