The San Francisco 49ers are set to host the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night at Levi's Stadium in a pivotal Week 18 matchup with major postseason implications. Both teams enter the finale with the NFC West title and the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed—including home-field advantage—on the line.
Ahead of the primetime showdown, the 49ers announced the elevations of linebacker Eric Kendricks and offensive lineman Brandon Parker from the practice squad.
The move marks Kendricks' third elevation of the season and Parker's first. Offensive tackle Trent Williams is listed as questionable after suffering a hamstring injury against the Chicago Bears. Parker's elevation could signal that Williams will be unavailable.
The 49ers will announce their inactive players 90 minutes before kickoff—around 3:30 p.m. PT.
