49ers Schedule: Key Elevations for Tonight's Game
49ers Schedule: Key Roster Moves
The San Francisco 49ers announced significant transactions ahead of tonight’s game against their rivals, the Seattle Seahawks. Defensive tackle Evan Anderson has been elevated from the practice squad, addressing the need for strength in the interior line as Jordan Elliott has been ruled out. This move leaves Maliek Collins, Kalia Davis, and Kevin Givens as the only active interior linemen, highlighting the urgency for depth. The 49ers anticipate a pass-heavy offensive strategy from the Seahawks, who have the lowest run rate in the NFL.
Defensive Strategies for the Niners
Additionally, safety Jaylen Mahoney has also been elevated from the practice squad. This comes after Talanoa Hufanga was placed on injured reserve due to a wrist injury, which means Malik Mustapha steps into the starter role. Mahoney’s elevation is crucial as special teams play becomes a focal point for the Niners. Expect him to absorb some of the workload from Mustapha, who has been contributing significantly to special teams.
