One piece of good news, tackle Trent Brown (concussion) is off the injured list and he will move to left tackle to replace the injured Joe Staley.
Otherwise, the 49ers inactive list against Arizona was stuffed with players who would have played but couldn’t because of injury. Tackle Garry Gilliam (knee), D.J. Jones (knee) DE Aaron Lynch (calf), T Joe Staley (eye), DE Solomon Thomas (knee), and CB K’Waun Williams (quadricep). The big news is linebacker Reuben Foster should overcome back, ankle and rib injuries and play. The 49ers will need him to combat running back Adrian Peterson and the Cardinals’ run game.
The newly acquired Jimmy Garoppolo will also be active, despite getting three plays in practice, he will backup C.J. Beathard at quarterback today against Arizona. Fans of the team will also see new players like Kendrick Bourne at wide receiver for example.
