Emmanuel Moseley is ACTIVE today, meaning that he will take one of the starting outside cornerback spots after missing the past two weeks with a knee injury. Josh Norman, not Deommodore Lenoir, is expected to start opposite Moseley, likely due to size.
The 49ers inactives for the game are: CB Dre Kirkpatrick, RB Elijah Mitchell, OL Aaron Banks, and CB Ambry Thomas. Three of the four players are rookies and this confirms that Mitchell, who was considered doubtful with a shoulder injury, will not play tonight.
