The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 1 matchup on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. These players will not suit up for the game.
On Friday, the 49ers listed two players, TE George Kittle (groin) and CB Charvarius Ward (heel), as questionable. Kittle and Ward are active.
Kittle's injury had kept him limited throughout practice all week, while Ward didn't play Wednesday or Thursday before serving as limited on Friday.
But, the 49ers will have both key players vs. the Steelers.
In addition, the 49ers are elevating two players from the practice squad for Sunday's game: defensive end Austin Bryant and linebacker Curtis Robinson.
With Robinson's elevation, it was assumed that at least one of the rookie linebackers would be inactive for the 49ers, but both will not suit up for Sunday's game.

After going through a dry spell in late October, it's safe to say the San Francisco 49ers have righted the ship on defense.
The 49ers went through a brief slump of sorts on defense towards the end of October when they gave up big passing performances to quarterbacks Kirk Cousins (378 yards, two touchdowns) in a Week 7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and Joe Burrow (283 yards, two touchdowns) in a Week 8 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Then, after a bye week in early November, the defense surged to give up just two touchdowns over a three-game span that has seen the 49ers notch one-sided victories over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks.
The latest win came on Thanksgiving night, when the 49ers held the Seahawks to zero first quarter

Tight end George Kittle values the presence of Brock Purdy in the San Francisco 49ers' huddle. The quarterback has played efficiently, contributing to the team's three consecutive wins following a costly October slump.
Purdy is on track to become the first 49ers quarterback to surpass 4,000 passing yards since Jeff Garcia did so in 2000. In fact, his projected 4,437 yards would set a franchise record.
"I think I can speak for everybody on our offense, we're continually impressed with the things that Brock does all the time," Kittle told Jim Rome on Tuesday. "His consistency every single day, the relationship that he's built with all of our skilled players, all the guys that he gets the ball to, it's pretty amazing. And we all feel that [comfort] with
