We’re a little over three hours away from the San Francisco 49ers kicking off against the Green Bay Packers. The Niners announced a couple of moves ahead of tonight’s matchup.
Edge rusher Clelin Ferrell was placed on the injured reserve with a knee injury, effectively ending his season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan initiallyhoped Ferrell’s injury would be short-term. My hunch is that Ferrell didn’t bring enough to the table to warrant a roster spot for the playoffs.
Chase Young and Randy Gregory both figure to play a more prominent role with Ferrell out.
