The San Francisco 49ers have officially activated three players — cornerback Richard Sherman and running backs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. — from injured reserve. The move potentially gives the team a boost headed into the backend of its schedule.
The 49ers also announced the following roster moves:
- LT Trent Williams and LB Joe Walker have been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list
- DL Alex Barrett has been activated from the practice squad (standard elevation)
- OL Tony Bergstrom, DL Darrion Daniels, and DL Willie Henry Jr. have been activated from the practice squad (COVID-19 replacement)
Sherman has been on injured reserve since September 16 due to a calf injury. He appeared in one game — a Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals — this season.
Mostert landed on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain on October 24. Wilson later suffered the same injury as Mostert and landed on IR a week after Mostert.
Running back JaMycal Hasty landed on injured reserve with a broken collarbone on November 17, and Tevin Coleman has been ruled out of Sunday's game due to a knee injury.
Mostert's 303 rushing yards still lead the team despite the running back having played in just four games this season.
The 49ers announced that both Williams and Walker are now listed as "questionable" to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Their activation leaves the following four players still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and unavailable for the game.
Aiyuk and Helm have been on the reserve/COVID-19 list since November 20 while Jones and Willis have been since November 23.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.

According to Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle, the 49ers have assured Samuel that he will not be involved in any pre- or post-draft transactions, ensuring his place on the roster for the time being.
"Samuel, who signed a three-year, $71.55 million extension before the 2022 season, has been assured by his bosses that he will not be dealt during or after the draft," Silver reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.
