The San Francisco 49ers announced the following roster moves ahead of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
- WR River Cracraft and CB Saivion Smith promoted from the practice squad to the active roster
- RB Brian Hill and S Jarrod Wilson activated from the practice squad
- RB Trenton Cannon and CB Emmanuel Moseley placed on injured reserve
Cannon and Moseley sustained their injuries during Week 13's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Cannon suffered a concussion on the opening kickoff return, while Moseley is dealing with a high-ankle sprain.
The 49ers also announced that cornerback Dontae Johnson has been downgraded from "questionable" to "out." That means one of the two rookie cornerbacks—
Deommodore Lenoir or
Ambry Thomas—will likely start opposite Josh Norman.
San Francisco enters Week 14 with a 6-6 record, while Cincinnati is 7-5. Kickoff between the two teams is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. PT from Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. The 49ers are currently a 1.5-point favorite.
The two teams will announce their inactive players 90 minutes ahead of kickoff.
The NFL fined 49ers defensive end Arden Key $15,450 for roughing the passer on his hit of Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Russell Wilson in Week 13, per The Athletic.
Seahawks defensive end Darrell Taylor was not fined for his hit to 49ers running back
Elijah Mitchell's head, which resulted in a concussion. Mitchell remains in the concussion protocol, and San Francisco ruled him out for this weekend's game against the Bengals.

Amidst swirling trade rumors surrounding Brandon Aiyuk, the speculation surrounding Deebo Samuel's future with the San Francisco 49ers seems to have quieted down.

"Samuel, who signed a three-year, $71.55 million extension before the 2022 season, has been assured by his bosses that he will not be dealt during or after the draft," Silver reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

We're just over 24 hours before round one of the NFL Draft begins. The San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to have their first pick in the opening round since 2021 when they drafted Trey Lance. That didn't turn out well, but there is optimism that the team will be able to make its roster better over the next few days.
GM John Lynch spoke on Monday and said there's a possibility the team could trade out of the first round. I doubt that would go over well with the fanbase, especially since they haven't had a first-rounder in the past two years. But if it's a good trade that lands the 49ers some quality picks, we could see that happen, especially if there aren't any players at pick 31 that the team is excited about.
