The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 6 matchup on the road against the Cleveland Browns. These players will not suit up for the game.
Inactives:
On Friday, the 49ers listed two players, Greenlaw and running back
Elijah Mitchell (knee), as questionable. Mitchell is active.
During
Saturday's roster moves, the 49ers elevated cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles and linebacker
Curtis Robinson from the practice squad. This marks the second promotion this season for both players, with Robinson being promoted before Week 1 and Jean-Charles before Week 3.
Robinson's elevation was a good indication that Greenlaw was not expected to play. The linebacker did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and was a limited participant on Friday.
Oren Burks will likely start in Greenlaw's place.
In a trade acquisition on October 6, the 49ers welcomed pass rusher Randy Gregory. While he was inactive last week against the Dallas Cowboys, Gregory will be suited up for the matchup against the Browns.
The Browns' inactives are listed below.

49ers LB Dre Greenlaw to receive Dwight Clark Legacy Award
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that Dre Greenlaw will receive the Dwight Clark Award this year. The San Francisco 49ers linebacker will take the stage on Thursday, May 16, at the fourth annual Dwight Clark Legacy Series in San Jose to accept the prestigious award.
Each year, a current 49ers player is honored with the Dwight Clark Legacy Award, presented to a player who best exemplifies the late receiver's spirit of teamwork. Linebacker Fred Warner was the recipient last year. Defensive lineman Arik Armstead, now with the Jacksonville Jaguars, was the recipient in 2022, while tight end George Kittle earned the first-ever award in 2021.
"Dre is more than deserving of the 2024 Dwight Clark Award," Warner said of his teammate, per Maiocco. "The
49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window
The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways.
"Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through."
Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several
Patriots among teams that looked into trading for 49ers WR Deebo Samuel
Numerous NFL teams reportedly reached out to the San Francisco 49ers before and during the draft to inquire about the team's star wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports that the New England Patriots were among the teams that had "preliminary trade discussions" about Samuel.
"In general, when teams explore potential transactions with other clubs, finding middle ground on compensation can be challenging," wrote Anderson. "There are always many considerable factors on why the price should possibly be one thing, or another."
