Inactives:
- QB Brandon Allen
- RB Tyrion Davis-Price
- DL Kalia Davis
- LB Jalen Graham
- WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder)
- T Trent Williams (ankle)
- TE Brayden Willis
On Friday, the 49ers ruled out Samuel against the Bengals. The team listed two players, quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) and Williams, as "questionable." Only Purdy is active.
Purdy cleared the concussion protocol on Saturday and will start in the Week 8 matchup. He did not practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday, and was a full participant on Friday.
Williams has been working his way back from an ankle injury suffered during Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. He did not play last week against the Minnesota Vikings and did not practice in the lead-up to this weekend's game.
Jaylon Moore will get his second consecutive start at left tackle in place of Williams.

As for Samuel, he is recovering from a hairline fracture in his shoulder. The team is hopeful he can return against the Jacksonville Jaguars after the bye week.
"He's doing good," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Samuel on Friday. "I mean, it's a little fracture, hairline fracture in his shoulder, so we got to wait for that to heal. But he's healthy enough everywhere else, so he's conditioned and working out, doing well, and hopefully that'll be good after the bye week."
On Saturday, the 49ers elevated two players, wide receiver Willie Snead and cornerback Kendall Sheffield, from the practice squad, making them available against the Bengals.
