49ers’ Reuben Foster, Pierre Garçon & others inactive for Week 10 vs. Giants

The 49ers defense will be a bit shorthanded for its Week 10 prime-time
Monday Night Football matchup with the visiting New York Giants, as linebacker Reuben Foster (shoulder) and strong safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) have both been ruled OUT and are inactive for the game.
Both Foster and Tartt missed the Niners' contest against the Oakland Raiders on
Thursday Night Football in Week 9. In Foster's place, San Francisco bumped fellow safety Malcolm Smith over to the weak-side (WILL) spot and had Dekoda Watson, who had just returned from injured reserve, slide into the SAM linebacker position.
One might expect the same against New York.
Tartt was replaced by defensive back Tyvis Powell, whom the
49ers waived Monday to make room for practice squad running back Matt Dayes. This would indicate the Niners are starting fellow defensive back Antone Exum in Tartt's stead with rookie safety Marcell Harris backing him up.
Here's the entirety of San Francisco's Week 10 inactives:
- QB Tom Savage
- WR Pierre Garçon
- S Jaquiski Tartt
- LB Reuben Foster
- OL Erik Magnuson
- DT Jullian Taylor
- OT Shon Coleman
Garçon, who found the end zone for the first time as a 49ers wide receiver last week, was absent from practice this week with a knee injury. His absence opens up the door for fellow wideouts Kendrick Bourne and Dante Pettis to assume a more active role against a Giants defense allowing 6.9 yards per pass on the season.
It will be interesting to see if second-year quarterback Nick Mullens, who'll get the start Monday night, can develop an early rapport with either target.
The 49ers and Giants kick off on Monday, Nov. 12 at 8:15 p.m. from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Seahawks Desperation No Threat to 49ers

It's been 7 years since the Seattle Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title. It's been 6 years since Russell Wilson completely blew the Seahawks' chance to win their 2nd Super Bowl title. Yes, Seattle has been a playoff contender for nearly every season since, but it's hard not to acknowledge that the 49ers' neighbors to the north have underachieved since the last time the two teams met in the playoffs.
Seattle once brandished the most dominant defense in the NFL with a peak Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Michael Bennet, Cliff Avril, KJ Wright and Bobby Wangner. Listing those names gives you a sense of just how formidable and dangerous that unit was. On the other side of the ball, Pete Carroll had a young Russell Wilson at quarterback to create magic with RB
5 X-Factors for the 49ers in 2020

Imagine this, the San Francisco 49ers have won Super Bowl 54. Jimmy Garopppolo is the new NFL golden boy, Andy Reid is still notoriously snake bitten by the football gods and the 49ers are tied with the Patriots and Steelers for most Super Bowl wins ever.
This easily could have been the case if a a few things broke the 49ers' way in Super Bowl 54. In 2020, the 49ers have carried over the vast majority of their roster from 2019. Only 3 starters from that Super Bowl team are not present on the roster in 2020: LT Joe Staley, DT DeForest Buckner and WR Emmanuel Sanders. The big names to replace those 3 players have been well-touted. Veteran star LT Trent Williams will fill the gap left by Staley while 2 first-round draft picks, DT Javon Kinlaw and WR Brandon Aiyuk, will be tasked
