The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 17 matchup on the road against the Washington Commanders. These seven players will not suit up for the game.
Inactives:
On Friday, the 49ers ruled out Armstead, Brown, Dwelley, Jennings, and Moore against the Commanders. The team listed four players, guard
Aaron Banks (toe), linebacker
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (illness), running back
Jordan Mason (illness), and cornerback
Ambry Thomas (knee, hand), as "questionable." All four are active.

Armstead will miss his fourth consecutive game. Brown sustained a knee sprain in last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and has not practiced since. Dwelley continues to recover from the high-ankle sprain suffered on December 3, while Jennings and Moore remain in the concussion protocol.
On Saturday, the 49ers elevated two players—safety
Erik Harris and wide receiver
Tay Martin—from the practice squad, making them available for the game against the Commanders.
Additionally, the team downgraded wide receiver
Danny Gray's status from "questionable" to "out." Gray, who remains on the injured reserve list,
had his practice window opened on December 27.
On the same day, the 49ers signed defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day to a one-year deal. He is active for the Week 17 matchup.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey reacts to Commanders drafting brother Luke
Christian McCaffrey may have hoped for the chance to play alongside his younger brother, Luke McCaffrey, with the San Francisco 49ers. Several mock drafts suggested that the former Rice wide receiver could join the Bay Area team.
"I would love to play with him one day," the older McCaffrey said in December. "That would be the coolest thing ever. So I'm excited for him and his journey, and he's only going to get better."
However, fate had different plans.
Luke did hear his name called on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, but not by the 49ers. Instead, the Washington Commanders selected him. Their draft is led by former 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in high spirits, and it's no wonder why. He's well aware that his bank account is about to get a significant boost, one way or another.
Aiyuk posted a video to Instagram, showing himself dancing and seemingly celebrating the good fortune of one of his NFL peers.

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."
