The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 15 matchup on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. These players will not suit up for Sunday's game.
Inactives:
Cornerback Jason Verrett's name is a surprise. He was not listed as injured on any practice participation reports this week. The 49ers announced that Verrett is inactive due to an illness.
Cornerbacks K'Waun Williams (ankle) and Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring) appear set to play. Both were listed as "questionable" on Friday.
Linebacker
Fred Warner (stinger) was also listed as "questionable," but is active against the Cowboys.
The 49ers made several roster moves on Saturday. While they activated Mark Nzeocha from the injured reserve list, he won't be available against his former team. The linebacker is among the inactives.
San Francisco also added tight end
Charlie Woerner to the reserve/COVID-19 list, which means there are now three players on the list. The team activated/flexed tight end Daniel Helm and offensive linemen Dakoda Shepley and Isaiah Williams from the practice squad as COVID-19 replacements.
On the Cowboys side, the biggest inactive is running back Ezekiel Elliott, who has been battling a calf injury. He did not practice this week and is inactive.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
