The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 13 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington.
The 49ers will be without their starting receivers on Sunday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan
said on Friday morning that he didn't expect Marquise Goodwin or Pierre Garçon to be available in Seattle. Both have been ruled out against the Seahawks.
Goodwin remains excused for personal reasons. He missed this past Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"(Goodwin is dealing with) family concerns and things like that," Shanahan told reporters on Friday afternoon. "Real stuff and he's having a real tough time with it, which is understandably so. He tried to come in yesterday and came to a meeting. I met with him after and we talked for a while, and he just didn't seem like he was in a good spot.
"I thought it would be better for him to go be with his family right now. He agreed, and we'll reassess after the game, and where we go next week."
Garçon also missed Sunday's game due to the knee injury he has been dealing with for most of the season. Shanahan repeated some of the things he said about Garçon earlier Friday morning.
"I don't see it getting a lot better right now," Shanahan said. "We haven't had to put him on IR in the situations we're in. We just haven't been forced to.
"With Marquise being down and stuff, and seeing how the rest of this year goes, he's there if we need him. He'd have to battle through some stuff, but it's been very tough for him to practice and things like that. Without him practicing these number of weeks, I just don't think it's right to put him in the game."
Shanahan said that activating Steven Dunbar from the practice squad to add a fifth receiver isn't an option.
"Dunbar pulled his hamstring in practice last week, so he's not an option," Shanahan revealed. "We still have [Victor Bolden]."
Below are the official injury reports for the 49ers and Seahawks. Also included are Friday's practice participation reports, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters on Tuesday at the NFL meetings in Orlando. He addressed multiple topics, from coaching moves, to new rules, to free agency additions and losses. On Monday, GM John Lynch met with the media and answered questions himself. So they have given us some things to discuss during the offseason.
We opened the 49ers Webzone Mailbag this week to answer your questions. Some were related to the topics Shanahan and Lynch discussed. Others were not. Let's jump in and see what is on your mind.

It wouldn't surprise me if the 49ers added another safety in free agency. In fact, I'd say it's
This morning, Andrew Fillipponi of Pittsburgh-area radio station 93.7 The Fan reported that the Steelers have "shown interest" in trading for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

According to Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York is preparing to assume the role of principal owner of the team by acquiring the necessary equity from his mother, Denise DeBartolo York.
"The transaction and title change is subject to NFL approval, expected during the league meetings underway today in Orlando," Fischer wrote. "It's not known precisely how much of the club Jed York will own individually after this deal, but the family owns more than 95% of the 49ers, valued at $6B by Forbes in 2023."
Fischer also notes that York will maintain his position as CEO of the team, where he will continue to directly oversee
The San Francisco 49ers likely aren't finished fortifying their defense and have reportedly expressed interest in bolstering their defensive backfield. If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand.
Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction.
Ward described White as a "hand in glove
