The San Francisco 49ers have released the list of inactive players for their Week 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. These seven players will not suit up for the game.
Inactives:
The 49ers announced a series of roster moves just hours before their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
With quarterback Brock Purdy ruled out, the team promoted practice squad quarterback Adrian Martinez to the active roster. Martinez will serve as the backup to Mac Jones, who is set to make his third start of the season.
To clear space, the 49ers waived defensive lineman Jordan Jefferson.
San Francisco also elevated defensive lineman Trevis Gipson and wide receiver Malik Turner from the practice squad, making them eligible for tonight's game. Turner's promotion comes at a crucial time, as the 49ers will be without wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings.
Additionally, the team re-signed cornerback Derrick Canteen to the practice squad, filling the vacancy created by Martinez's promotion to the active roster.
