The San Francisco 49ers injury reports have been extensive all season long, and with nearly 20 people on injured reserve, we’ve seen numerous iterations of the starting lineup.
The planned starting lineup was off the table before the season got started, when Malcolm Smith tore his pectoral muscle. Free safety Jimmie Ward was out of action early, Reuben Foster missed several games, Zane Beadles was benched, NaVorro Bowman was released, they lost more free safeties, and we’ve seen Tank Carradine and Solomon Thomas both get hurt.
