The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 18 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. These seven players will not suit up for the game.
Inactives:
- RB Israel Abanikanda
- CB Tre Avery
- DE Robert Beal (ankle)
- DL Khalil Davis
- CB Deommodore Lenoir (shoulder)
- QB Brock Purdy (right elbow)
- WR Deebo Samuel (ribs, wrist)
On Friday, the San Francisco 49ers ruled out quarterback Brock Purdy, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, and defensive lineman Robert Beal due to injuries.
In Purdy's absence, Josh Dobbs will get the start, with Brandon Allen serving as his backup.
The 49ers listed safety Ji'Ayir Brown (ankle), tight end George Kittle (ankle, hamstring), tackle Colton McKivitz (knee), and cornerback Isaac Yiadom (pelvis) as questionable for the game. However, all four players are active and available to play.
On Saturday, the team placed guard Spencer Burford and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles on injured reserve, both sidelined by calf injuries. To fill the vacant roster spots, the 49ers promoted defensive end Alex Barrett and linebacker DaShaun White from the practice squad to the active roster.
Additionally, the 49ers elevated offensive lineman Drake Nugent and wide receiver Trent Taylor from the practice squad, making both players available for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
