Linebacker Jalen Graham was activated from the practice squad, as was defensive lineman Sebastian Valdez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 49ers had the bye week to decide whether they needed to make any changes. They obviously had hoped Kendricks could be a part of that, but a setback will prevent him from playing in Week 15. Graham will likely continue his role on special teams with Eric Kendricks not having practiced all week with a calf injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Newly claimed linebacker Garret Wallow has been a lifetime special teamer. After a week of practicing, it\u2019s hard to imagine he will play any defensive snaps. So, it\u2019s likely Curtis Robinson remains the MIKE linebacker with Tatum Bethune out once more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Valdez has not played a defensive or special teams snap this season. With Yetur Gross-Matos sidelined, Valdez gives the Niners an emergency body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As for Sunday\u2019s game against the Tennessee Titans, the 49ers made a couple of moves ahead of that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,173680,47545,2746,33726,99],"class_list":["post-348014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-san-francisco-49ers-analysis","tag-san-francisco-49ers-roster","tag-san-francisco-49ers-depth-chart","tag-san-francisco-49ers-injuries","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
