49ers declared RB Elijah Mitchell, LB Dre Greenlaw, S Talanoa Hufanga, OL Colton McKivitz and DL Maurice Hurst inactive for Week 16 against the Titans.
Mitchell continues to seem not particularly close to a return, though he now has 10 days to get ready for Week 17 vs. Houston. The Texans have one of the softest run defenses in the league. If you can spare the roster spot, keep Mitchell around if you are in the trophy hunt.
The Titans will start second-round rookie Dillon Radunz at left tackle for Thursday evening's game against the 49ers.
The No. 53 overall pick of the draft, rookie Radunz is primarily a guard. He has also played only 53 snaps all year, just 12 of which have come since Week 8. He is getting the call against Nick Bosa and company because Taylor Lewan has a back injury and No. 2 Kendall Lamm is battling COVID. The Titans will also be without LG Rodger Saffold (COVID). It's hardly an ideal short-week setup. Joining Lewan on the official inactives shelf are CB Chris Jones, LB Joe Jones, OLB Derick Roberson, LB David Long Jr. and DL Larrell Murchison.
Niners with an opening drive TD...first play of the drive was a bit telling...Jimmy G avoided the hit in the pocket and completed...then it was all niners o
Interesting...the strength of the niners D is the front 7...weakness is the corners...and Titans attack short and middle of the field...makes sense to who?
Yes they did...but niners O is going up the field on them pretty consistently...and they were aided by a crap call...but that should be a surprise to no one
