The San Francisco 49ers have battled through injury misfortune this season and still find themselves fighting for the No. 1 seed in the NFC heading into Week 17.
That alone is a testament to the sheer depth on this roster and their ability to overcome countless impactful injuries. And despite being slightly healthier going into their huge matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, they’ll be forced to do more of the same.
Going into the week of practice, hopes were high that a 49ers team that had 16 players on the injured reserve would only be out one member of the roster in Week 17 — aside from the players on the IR.
