The San Francisco 49ers will be missing several key players, including Deebo Samuel, Deommodore Lenoir, Brock Purdy, Spencer Burford, and Ronald Beal, for their regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Kyle Shanahan cited injuries as the reason for the absences, noting that many players are pushing to play despite the team's playoff aspirations being out of reach. With a focus on 2025, the 49ers can begin planning for the future.
San Francisco 49ers’ Deebo Samuel Sr. runs against the Detroit Lions in the first quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Monday, Dec. 30, 2024. SANTA CLARA — The 49ers will be without some key players when they visit the Arizona Cardinals Sunday to close out the regular season.
Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles was listed as doubtful, while those who were questionable and likely to play include tight end George Kittle , tackle Colton McKivitz , safety Ji’Ayir Brown and cornerback Isaac Yiadom . “I’d be much more excited to go all the way to February again, but that is tough when you go that long,” Shanahan said. “Everybody needs to get away and by the time you get back is usually right when free agency is starting and you’re not quite there yet. I think this will be the first time since COVID being off in January.”“I think we kind of needed it as a team,” Bosa said. “It’s definitely a grind.
Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin, announced Thursday she’s launching a NFL-licensed apparel line called Off Season that hits the market Tuesday, in partnership with Emma Grede and Fanatics. “Oh my gosh, I’m so excited for that, and yesterday was a big for us to announce the launch,” Juszczyk said. “We’ve wanted this to happen for so long, and I know so many fans have.”General manager John Lynch downplayed any notion that Purdy’s elbow injury is more serious than the team is letting on.
