The San Francisco 49ers have released their first injury report of the season. The team is preparing to host the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener on Monday night.
CB Chris Davis' unavailability was not unexpected. He has been unable to practice all week. Davis had been expected to be the 49ers' primary nickel corner and most likely would have been tasked with the duty of covering Rams WR Tavon Austin in the slot on Monday night.
OG Anthony Davis did not practice on Saturday due to what was described as a personal matter. He had practiced during the rest of the week. Davis is the starting right guard along the offensive line. Cam Inman of
Bay Area News Group reports that Davis may
once again be contemplating retirement – this time on the eve of the team's season opener.
CB Keith Reaser, who did not practice Thursday, was in full pads on Friday, but was limited. He too is listed as questionable.
Below is the complete injury report, which was released by the team. The status of "probable" was eliminated this season, leaving only "questionable," "doubtful," and "out."

Obviously, you had a big change at right tackle with Denver Broncos T Mike McGlinchey leaving this off season, what is your confidence level in OL Colton McKivitz and where does that kind of stem from?

49ers OL coach Chris Foerster on RT Colton McKivitz: "The job is his coming into it"

The San Francisco 49ers had a significant change this offseason, letting go of several key starters, such as Mike McGlinchey and Jimmie Ward, who earned lucrative multi-year deals elsewhere.
That left the 49ers with a void at the right tackle position, where the team didn't add any significant talent in free agency or the NFL Draft, meaning that Colton McKivitz is the odds-on favorite to be the starter at the position.
Speaking to the media for the first time this offseason, offensive line coach Chris Foerster praised the swing tackle, pointing out his value in spot duty and that it's McKivitz's job to lose, which should help build his confidence in a crucial year.
"Colton, he's done a great job for us through the years he's been here,"

"Sam Darnold really getting backup duty as he kinda gets his playbook under his belt. But for now, Trey Lance getting his opportunity with those first-team reps."
