Pregame
The 49ers are starting CBs Emmanuel Moseley and Dre Kirpatrick, who was recently signed, as their outside corners today against Seattle. They'll face the daunting duo of Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf.
The 49ers have listed their five inactives for the game: CB Josh Norman, CB K'Waun Williams, OG Aaron Banks, DT Zach Kerr, and RB Elijah Mitchell. That means that Ambry Thomas, who's been a healthy scratch regularly, is active, along with George Kittle.
