49ers promote D-lineman to active roster ahead of Saints game

On Friday, the San Francisco 49ers listed defensive lineman
Arik Armstead (foot, ankle) as "doubtful" for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Wide receiver
Deebo Samuel is "questionable" as he deals with a hamstring injury.
In preparation for potentially missing Armstead, the 49ers announced that they have promoted defensive lineman
T.Y. McGill from the practice squad to the active roster. They could not temporarily elevate him from the practice squad because the team had already done so three times, the maximum for one season.
San Francisco waived defensive lineman Kemoko Turay to open the roster spot necessary for promoting McGill. Turay has been inactive for five games this season, including the past three.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
McGill (6-0, 295) has appeared in three games and registered two tackles after being elevated to the active roster from the team's practice squad.
Turay (6-5, 253) originally signed with the team on September 14, 2022. He appeared in three games and recorded one tackle.

Why the 49ers Worry Me Ahead of the NFC Championship Game
This is something special. You can already feel it in the air. This weekend, with the scope of the NFL season boiled down to two games, there's no hint of fraudulence left. There's no frisky underdog just hoping to make some noise. On Sunday, we're going to witness two heavyweight fights, one juggernaut against another for control of each conference, no love lost between the contestants.
It's gonna be fun.
But with the stakes raised as high as they are, the buoyant enthusiasm that permeates a winning season has vanished. It's been boiled away by the crucible of postseason pressure. Lose tomorrow, and there is no more football this season. No more chances for a special iteration of a storied team. An offseason into the howling dark of frustration and
Analyst and former All-Pro O-lineman: "Jimmy Garoppolo is just an injury-prone quarterback"
Mike Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle took a stab at defending Kyle Shanahan and his play calling from fans and media who place at least part of the blame for the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback injuries on the shoulders of the head coach. It's a fascinating read. Silver argues that the quarterback woes have more to do with poor luck than Shanahan unnecessarily putting his signal-callers in harm's way.
Whether or not you want to accept Silver's stand on the situation is up to you. The topic has created much debate among the fanbase, but it is a discussion for another day.
One thing was made clear this week. Jimmy Garoppolo, the
