The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 12 matchup on the road against the Los Angeles Rams. These players will not suit up for Sunday's game.
Inactives:
Witherspoon is among the 49ers' inactive players for the third consecutive game and appears to be a healthy scratch. Running back Tevin Coleman (knee), tackle Tom Compton (concussion), linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring), and cornerback K'Waun Williams (ankle) were all ruled out on
Friday's game status report.
On Saturday, the 49ers activated cornerback Richard Sherman and running backs
Raheem Mostert and
Jeff Wilson Jr. from injured reserve. The team also activated tackle
Trent Williams and linebacker Joe Walker from the reserve/COVID-19 list. All of those players are active.
Offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom and defensive linemen
Alex Barrett,
Darrion Daniels, and Willie Henry Jr. were all activated from the practice squad.
The 49ers had four players entering the game listed as "questionable." They are linebackers
Azeez Al-Shaair (illness) and
Dre Greenlaw (illness), defensive tackle
Javon Kinlaw (not injury related), and tight end Jordan Reed (illness). All four are cleared to play.

Everyone is eagerly trying to figure out which quarterback will be selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 3 overall pick. Will it be Justin Fields, Trey Lance, or the less-popular choice of Mac Jones? Whatever the decision, it means the end of Jimmy Garoppolo's time with the Niners is inching closer. The veteran quarterback is expected to remain with the team this season, as head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello get the incoming rookie up to speed.
Marcellus Wiley, a former NFL defensive end, made it known this week that he feels that replacing Garoppolo is a mistake. He believes the quarterback is being made a scapegoat for San Francisco's disappointing six-win campaign in 2020. The Speak for Yourself host went on a rant,

Much was said of San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's absences from Ohio State's pro day last week. Instead of traveling to Columbus to watch quarterback Justin Fields, a candidate to be drafted with the team's No. 3 overall pick, the duo was in Tuscaloosa for Alabama's pro day, watching Mac Jones.
Why Jones over Fields?
"[Just] talking with Fields' agent [David Mulugheta] and everything, we'll get another one from him too," Shanahan explained last week, per Kirk Larrabee. "So we'll be able to see him. That kind of made it an easy decision."
According to Fields' agent, that next opportunity will come on
Rams' Sean McVay believes 49ers are confident in their draft strategy

The San Francisco 49ers' move up nine spots from the No. 12 overall pick last month sent shockwaves across the NFL. News of the blockbuster move broke during Zach Wilson's pro day, taking a little away from the event as everyone tried to wrap their heads around the impact — not just on the draft but on the NFC West and NFL landscape for years to come.
The move up to the No. 3 spot leaves San Francisco without a first-round pick in each of the next two years. Someone who knows a thing or two about building a roster without first-round picks is the coach of the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams — Sean McVay.
McVay and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan are close friends, but you can bet the Rams coach is being kept in the dark about the Bay Area team's
Mock Draft Roundup: The Mac Jones-to-49ers Chatter is Deafening

The 2021 NFL Draft is a three-day event from April 29th to May 1st that will be hosted in Cleveland, Ohio. A select number of draft prospects will be invited to Cleveland to walk across the stage and shake hands with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The NFL Draft will also feature draft prospects participating remotely across the country.
Last month, the 49ers arguably made their most aggressive move since trading Joe Montana, as they gave up multiple picks to jump from No. 12 to No. 3 in this year's NFL Draft. The first Mock Draft Roundup featured primarily defensive players but NFL pundits have now shifted their 49ers mock drafts to the quarterback position.
