The San Francisco 49ers will sit 14 players on Saturday. We look at the list, including some late announcements.
The San Francisco 49ers will be sitting a handful of veterans on Saturday in their preseason opener against the Houston Texans. The team announced that NaVorro Bowman, Vernon Davis and Darnell Dockett will not dress for the game. Additionally, Jim Tomsula mentioned on Thursday that Reggie Bush will not play.
None of these are shocking, and give the younger players on the team some big opportunities. Vernon Davis's absence will be particularly notable.
