Rookies on defense: First-round Mykel Williams (knee) has been ramping; Alfred Collins and Marques Sigle have seen preseason reps, with Sigle pushing for snaps amid safety competition.
Depth battles: Injuries have forced extra looks at DT/OL; monitor how rotational linemen and UDFAs are deployed in the finale.
Injury Notes (monitor day-of)
-
Mykel Williams (knee) has been considered day-to-day; reports suggest the 49ers are cautious but optimistic for a preseason return.
