Kickoff between the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions is just hours away. Ahead of their Week 18 matchup at Levi's Stadium, the 49ers have announced several roster moves to prepare for the game.
The 49ers have activated linebacker Tatum Bethune from injured reserve after opening his practice window last week.
Additionally, defensive lineman Alex Barrett and offensive lineman Drake Nugent have been elevated from the practice squad, making them available to play against the Lions.
As expected, the team has placed offensive lineman Aaron Banks on injured reserve. Banks sustained an MCL injury during the Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Lions activate a linebacker
