The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants may have nine Super Bowl titles between the two of them, but 2017 has been a nightmare of epic proportions for the once proud organizations. How bad has it been? Well, coming into Week 10, the two teams have combined for one win, while seeing a
whopping 38 of it's players go on Injured Reserve. For the Niners, the rest of the season is merely about seeing who can contribute next year, and getting young players valuable snaps.
San Francisco will have an added reinforcement this week however, as T Joe Staley (eye) returns to the lineup to help solidify the offensive line. That's the good news. The bad news is the team will be without DT Solomon Thomas, TE
George Kittle, and WR Trent Taylor, all of whom are key rookies missing valuable experience.
Here's the complete list of inactives for both teams:
49ers
TE George Kittle
LB Elijah Lee
DL Aaron Lynch
LB Pita Taumoepenu
WR Trent Taylor
DL Solomon Thomas
OL Darrell Williams
Giants
CB Donte Deayon
LB B.J. Goodson

49ers demolish Giants in Week 3 victory: Key takeaways
It's hard to think of the New York Giants without some painful postseason memories. And that's why it's always so sweet to beat them soundly. And the San Francisco 49ers did just that on Thursday night, winning 30-12, and improving to 3-0 on the season.
Although the score was relatively close at halftime, it wasn't as close statistically. And by the end of the game, it was even more lopsided—on the scoreboard and on the stat sheet. When you have more YAC (yards after the catch/contact) than the other team has total yards, you've thoroughly beaten your opponent.

Last season, the 49ers lost four of their first seven games. The team was 1-2 after three games. So, remaining undefeated through Week 3 this season means a lot.
"That's the goal, and real happy to be 3-0 right now," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "It's really cool to do it after a Thursday night game. There's not many times in the NFL where you get to enjoy a win more than just that night, so it's always cool when you win on Thursdays.
"I told the guys if they want to win and have a weekend off, we got to earn it, and
