The San Francisco 49ers entered the Divisional Playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers without starting rookie cornerback
Ambry Thomas (knee). The team's other cornerback,
Deommodore Lenoir, also won't play. Both were among the 49ers' seven inactive players.
Below are the 49ers-Packers in-game injury updates.
RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
Wilson was carted to the locker room very early in the game, per
Packers beat writer Matt Schneidman. The 49ers later announced him out for the remainder of the game.
T Trent Williams
Williams got his right ankle wrapped after looking to be in pain in the third quarter. He stayed in the game but later limped off the field.
WR Deebo Samuel
Samuel exited the game after a 12-yard catch in the third quarter. He was tackled by linebacker Krys Barnes, started to make his way to the sideline, and then paused and went down. Samuel was eventually able to make it to the sideline under his own power. He remained to the game.
Update: Samuel left the game again late in the fourth quarter. He could not put weight on his right leg and needed help to reach the bench.
CB Dontae Johnson
Johnson and DT D.J. Jones stayed down on the field in the fourth quarter after a collision, with the Packers leading 10-3. Teammates called the training staff over. Jones was able to walk on the sideline soon after the play. Johnson eventually was able to walk off the field under his own power and headed to the blue medical tent.
Update: Johnson returned to the game.

Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023

49ers insider believes team may prefer WR Brandon Aiyuk play on fifth-year option
The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
