While one of the 49ers’ first-round draft picks was inactive due to a foot injury, the other saw his most extensive playing time of the regular season.
Guard Joshua Garnett, whom the 49ers traded up to select at No. 28 overall, replaced right guard Andrew Tiller for 18 snaps in the second half of the 49ers’ 33-21 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night.
The 49ers' No. 7 overall pick, defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, was inactive for the game due to a left foot injury.
Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley, who was listed as questionable with an ankle injury entering the game, not only played – he played all 78 snaps in the game.
