On Friday, the 49ers activated defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw from the injured reserve list. He has not appeared in a game since Week 3 due to a knee injury. To make room for him on the roster, San Francisco released linebacker Curtis Robinson.
The Niners also elevated two players—defensive lineman Michael Dwumfour and wide receiver Willie Snead—from the practice squad for Saturday's game.
On Thursday, running back Jordan Mason (hamstring), defensive back Tarvarius Moore (illness, knee), cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle), and cornerback Charvarius Ward (concussion) were listed as "questionable" against the Commanders. All four are active.
Jackson, Dwelley, and Zakelj are all healthy scratches.
