The San Francisco 49ers will try and take down the Los Angeles Rams without three of their most important offensive players.
Quarterback Brock Purdy, and wide receivers Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall were all ruled out on the official injury report leading up to their Thursday Night Football showdown against their division rival. That group highlighted the list of inactive players in Week 5:
- QB Brock Purdy (toe)
- WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib)
- WR Ricky Pearsall (knee)
- WR Jordan Watkins (calf)
- DE Robert Beal (ankle)
- RB Jordan James
- LB Nick Martin
The good news for San Francisco is that there weren’t any additional surprises. They can seldom afford any additional injury problems and just getting through Week 5 healthy would be considered a win at this point.
Ideally they’ll get through Week 5 into the mini bye week where they can try and get healthier for their Week 6 matchup vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
