The 49ers announced the following roster updates:
- Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos has been activated from injured reserve.
- Cornerback Eli Apple has been elevated from the practice squad.
- Linebacker Eric Kendricks has been elevated from the practice squad.
Gross-Matos had been listed as questionable for the game as he worked his way back from a hamstring injury. The 49ers were happy with his recent on-field work.
"Yeah, he had a good two days that we got him out there, rested him today," Shanahan said on Saturday.
This is Apple's third elevation of the season.
Kendricks dealt with a tight calf leading up to the game against the Tennessee Titans, but was able to practice in the lead-up to this Week 16 matchup. When asked how Kendrick's conditioning was coming along in practice, Shanahan said, "Good. I mean, we wanted to see it this week, having last week with his injury. But challenging him this week, I thought it looked good and no concerns."
On Saturday, San Francisco officially ruled out three players for the matchup: cornerback Renardo Green (neck), wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle), and quarterback Kurtis Rourke (knee).
The 49ers will release their complete list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before kickoff.
