The 49ers ruled out only two players, Jimmy Garoppolo and Ambry Thomas, while clearing others to return for Saturday’s playoff opener against Seattle.
SANTA CLARA — A clean bill of health for the playoffs? The 49ers seem happily close to that, all due respect to injured quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 49ers were hurting at many positions in last year’s playoffs, which they forged into without right tackle Mike McGlinchey, running back Raheem Mostert, and, defensive linemen Dee Ford and Javon Kinlaw.“We know who’s playing and got a number of guys backs that we haven’t had. Excited about that,” coach Kyle Shanahan said.
Defensive tackle Kevin Givens is expected to return from a Dec. 11 knee sprain, bolstering the NFL’s No. 2-ranked run defense against 1,000-yard rookie rusher Kenneth Walker III, who’s rushed for over 100 yards his past three games.Rain is forecast for the 49ers’ playoff opener — as it was in their regular-season opener Sept. 11 at Chicago. How does that impact Shanahan’s game plan?
