49ers Depth Chart Revealed in Finale

The San Francisco 49ers will adopt a strategy for their preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders that closely resembles their approach during the preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that a minimal number of starters are anticipated to participate, with most projected starters likely sitting out.

This decision is largely driven by a significant number of injuries, impacting approximately 24 players who recently missed or were limited in practice sessions. The available playing time for various players in this final exhibition game is expected to offer clear insights into the team's depth chart and confirm starter selections.

Specific attention will be given to players like rookie offensive lineman Carver Willis, who has been a leading candidate for left guard. His availability or absence will signal the team's decision at that position. Similarly, the participation of players like defensive tackle Alfred Collins and safety Marques Sigle will provide clarity on their roles and the overall defensive lineup.
