The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have activated cornerback
Deommodore Lenoir off the reserve/COVID-19 list. The team had six players on the list last week. All except Lenoir were activated in time for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Although, cornerback K'Waun Williams did not yet feel well enough to play, and was inactive.
The 49ers signed tight end
Tanner Hudson to the practice squad.

The 49ers are preparing to open the playoffs on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Cynthia Frelund names new 49ers CB Charvarius Ward among NFL's most underappreciated players
Analyst Cynthia Frelund took on the task of identifying the most underappreciated player for each NFL team. For the San Francisco 49ers, that player is an offseason addition—cornerback Charvarius Ward. Frelund used analytics to measure each player's production and contribution to a team's overall win total during the 2021 season.
Ward's contributions last season were for the Kansas City Chiefs. Frelund admits that she typically tries to prioritize players who do not switch teams in the offseason.
