49ers vs. Eagles: Inactives for the Wild Card Round
The Eagles will be without their star right tackle, Lane Johnson, who is inactive due to a foot injury. This marks Johnson's eighth consecutive game missed since he left early in Week 11 with the same injury.
Here's the full list of the Eagles' inactive players:
- CB Jakorian Bennett (23)
- RB A.J. Dillon (29)
- QB Sam Howell (3rd QB, 14)
- T Lane Johnson (65)
- DT Ty Robinson (95)
- OL Brett Toth (64)
- OLB Joshua Uche (0)
With Johnson out, Fred Johnson will start at right tackle for the seventh time this season. Fred Johnson has been a reliable backup, stepping up when needed after the Eagles acquired him before the regular season.
CB Jakorian Bennett is a healthy scratch for the first time in his Eagles career. He played every snap last week against the Commanders, as the Eagles rested some starters. Rookie Mac McWilliams is active for the seventh time this season.
Center/guard Drew Kendall and tackle Cameron Williams, both rookies, are active and will provide depth along the offensive line, with Brett Toth and Lane Johnson ruled out due to injury.
The 49ers will also be without one of their top playmakers, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who is inactive. However, standout left tackle Trent Williams is active, despite a hamstring injury.
Here's the full list of the 49ers' inactive players:
- CB Chase Lucas
- WR Ricky Pearsall
- RB Isaac Guerendo
- DL Kevin Givens
- WR Jordan Watkins
- LB Dee Winters
- LB Luke Gifford
Both starting linebackers, Dee Winters and Luke Gifford, were injured in the regular season finale against the Seahawks and are inactive. The 49ers are also dealing with a lack of linebacker depth, as Tatum Bethune suffered a season-ending injury last week.
