49ers activate Mike Davis for finale against Rams; Place Michael Wilhoite on IR
The San Francisco 49ers activated rookie RB Mike Davis to the active roster on Saturday, making him available to play in the team's finale against the St. Louis Rams at Levi's Stadium on Sunday. He was placed on the IR/Designated for Return List on November 7th.
To make room for him, the 49ers placed LB Michael Wilhoite on injured reserve.
Davis, a fourth round selection out of South Carolina by the 49ers, had surgery in November on the fractured hand he suffered during a road game against the Rams.
This season, he has 24 yards on 25 rushing attempts with his longest run being just five yards. Davis also has 23 yards on five receptions.
"It'll be real weird just to come back for the last game, but any time I can battle with my team, I don't care if it's the last game or not, I'll be ready to have fun with it," Davis told 49ers.com earlier in the week.

49ers injury updates: Two banged up against Eagles
The San Francisco 49ers appear to have emerged from Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles in relatively good health. However, they were not entirely unscathed. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, speaking to reporters after the dominant 42-19 win, provided injury updates.
"[DT Arik] Armstead had a foot, didn't return," Shanahan said. "[TE Ross] Dwelley had ankle, didn't return."
After practicing just once last week, the defensive tackle entered Week 13 listed as "questionable" for the clash against the Eagles. However, he was not among the 49ers' seven inactive players and
3 takeaways from 49ers 28-16 win against Seahawks
Another day, another decisive victory for the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers, who toppled the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in just three weeks.
49ers running back Christian McCaffrey started the game with a 72-yard run, and San Francisco kept the pressure on, outgaining Seattle by over 200 yards (527-324). Jordan Mason punched in CMC's opening gain for his third touchdown of the year, WR Deebo Samuel went back-to-back games with multiple TDs, and TE George Kittle added a late score on a stellar deep ball from QB Brock Purdy. It wasn't a true rout - defensive miscues and injuries allowed a handful of preventable explosive plays - but with Seattle starter Geno Smith sidelined shortly before the game, the 49ers easily did enough to keep things from getting
How John Lynch's input shaped 49ers' defensive strategy against DK Metcalf
The San Francisco 49ers faced a tight schedule leading up to their Thursday night NFC West clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the challenges, the defense successfully contained Seattle's main offensive threat, wide receiver DK Metcalf, limiting him to three catches for 32 yards on nine targets while primarily covered by cornerback Charvarius Ward.
Ward's impressive performance held the 6-foot-4 wideout in check, allowing only one catch for 14 yards when matched against him.
After the 31-13 victory, Ward revealed that the initial game plan didn't have him concentrating so heavily on Metcalf. This adjustment came late, but Ward embraced the
Brock Purdy 'really excited' to lead 49ers into hostile territory against Eagles
It's been 308 days since Brock Purdy suffered a UCL tear. Today, he returns to Lincoln Financial Field, the site of that injury, to lead the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC Championship Game rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations are high for a more competitive game than last season's 31-7 rout.
While Purdy isn't seeking revenge, the second-year quarterback eagerly anticipates matchups like these, relishing the prospect of playing again in front of a hostile crowd.
"I'm really excited for it, honestly," Purdy told FOX Sports' Erin Andrews. "Going back, it's a great environment. These are the kinds of games that you grow up watching on TV, wishing you were in there.
