The San Francisco 49ers entered the Divisional Playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers without starting rookie cornerback
Ambry Thomas (knee). The team's other cornerback,
Deommodore Lenoir, also won't play. Both were among the 49ers' seven inactive players.
Below are the 49ers-Packers in-game injury updates.
RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
Wilson was carted to the locker room very early in the game, per
Packers beat writer Matt Schneidman. The 49ers later announced him out for the remainder of the game.
T Trent Williams
Williams got his right ankle wrapped after looking to be in pain in the third quarter. He stayed in the game but later limped off the field.
WR Deebo Samuel
Samuel exited the game after a 12-yard catch in the third quarter. He was tackled by linebacker Krys Barnes, started to make his way to the sideline, and then paused and went down. Samuel was eventually able to make it to the sideline under his own power. He remained to the game.
Update: Samuel left the game again late in the fourth quarter. He could not put weight on his right leg and needed help to reach the bench.
CB Dontae Johnson
Johnson and DT D.J. Jones stayed down on the field in the fourth quarter after a collision, with the Packers leading 10-3. Teammates called the training staff over. Jones was able to walk on the sideline soon after the play. Johnson eventually was able to walk off the field under his own power and headed to the blue medical tent.
Update: Johnson returned to the game.

Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.
