Episode notes
Quarterback Status Is Precarious
- Mac Jones missed the most rigorous practice due to an oblique injury, creating uncertainty about his endurance for Sunday.
- Brock Purdy hasn't practiced this week and is likely unavailable except as an emergency option.
Roster Spots Are Being Hoarded
- The 49ers are carrying injured players on the active roster instead of IR, limiting roster flexibility for emergency signings.
- Tim Kawakami questions holding inactive players like Jordan Watkins when roster spots are valuable.
Safety Depth Creates Tough Decisions
- Malik Mustafa could displace a current starter because the safety pairing of Pinnock and Siegel has strong chemistry.
- Shanahan and Sala prefer to keep a working safety duo rather than shuffle starters without cause.
