The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 3 matchup at home against the Green Bay Packers. These players will not suit up for Sunday's game.
Inactives:
Cornerback
Emmanuel Moseley is active for the first time this season. He didn't play in Week 1 or 2 due to a knee injury and was listed as "questionable" for tonight's game.
NBC Sports Bay Area reports that Moseley is slated to start. Rookie
Deommodore Lenoir started in Moseley's place during the first two games.
Josh Norman will reportedly be the cornerback opposite Moseley as the 49ers defense attempts to stop quarterback
Aaron Rodgers.
Running back Elijah Mitchell, who was listed as "doubtful" for tonight's game due to a shoulder injury, is among the four inactive players. That likely means the first start for rookie running back
Trey Sermon.
The 49ers made three roster moves on Saturday. One was activating running back Kerryon Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster. The others were placing defensive tackle
Kevin Givens and running back
JaMycal Hasty on injured reserve. Both suffered ankle injuries during Week 2's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Packers lead the all-time series against the 49ers with a 37-32-1 record. However, San Francisco is 20-13-1 all-time against Green Bay at home.

49ers-Seahawks Injury Report: George Kittle, Elijah Mitchell questionable for Sunday; Josh Norman doubtful
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The good news is that reporters saw tight end George Kittle during today's practice after absences on Wednesday and Thursday. He was on a side field getting in some work. Kittle's presence is progress and potentially a positive sign that the star might be available on Sunday.

Kyle Shanahan: Pain a factor in Elijah Mitchell's availability for 49ers-Seahawks; Josh Norman has one more hurdle
Elijah Mitchell missed last weekend's game against the Green Bay Packers due to a shoulder injury sustained during Week 2. The hope was that the rookie running back would only have to miss the one game, but he is listed as "questionable" for Sunday's NFC West clash with the Seattle Seahawks.
Mitchell has been limited in practice all week while wearing a blue no-contact jersey. Right now, it seems to be more of a question of how much the running back can endure.
"Yeah, it's just a pain thing," head coach Kyle Shanahan explained. "I can tell you guys right now, I don't question his pain tolerance. The fact that it's taking a while means there's a lot of pain in there. If he can go and take it, that will be pretty impressive.

49ers' George Kittle expected to play vs. Seahawks; Elijah Mitchell out
"I mean, I'm going to do everything I can to be on the field on Sunday," George Kittle told reporters on Friday. "And then, if my body says I can go, I'll be out there."
It sounds like we can expect the San Francisco 49ers star tight end to be out there for the team's first divisional matchup of the season. Despite being listed as "questionable" for the game, per multiple reports, Kittle is expected to be on the field at Levi's Stadium this afternoon when the Niners host the Seattle Seahawks.
"While officially a game-time decision, SF has optimism that Kittle will be correct," notes Ian Rapoport of NFL
