Absent from the list of roster moves was the activation of running back Trey Sermon, who remains on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. San Francisco opened Sermon's practice window on December 21, 2020. This week, head coach Kyle Shanahan gave the impression that Sermon would be available on Sunday.
"Trey's good to go," Shanahan said on Wednesday. "We got to see him last week, even though we didn't get to practice that much. He would've been able to go last week. We didn't go with that, more of a special teams decision, but I know Trey Sermon should be good to go this week and I'm hoping Elijah [Mitchell] will."
San Francisco enters Week 17 with an 8-7 record, while Houston is 4-11. Kickoff between the two teams is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The 49ers are currently a 12.5-point favorite.
The two teams will announce their inactive players 90 minutes ahead of kickoff.
The NFL fined Tennessee Titans running back D'Onta Foreman $5,111 for unnecessary roughness against 49ers safety Jimmie Ward in Week 16. Titans defensive lineman Denico Autry was not fined for the hit on Jimmy Garoppolo, resulting in the 49ers quarterback's injured right thumb.
