Jordan Watkins is active for the first time this season

The San Francisco 49ers released their official inactive roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, revealing several critical personnel updates for quarterback Brock Purdy's offense. Wide receiver Mike Evans is cleared to play despite a hip ailment, providing essential support alongside Deebo Samuel, KhaDarel Hodge, Jacob Cowing, and second-year receiver Jordan Watkins, who makes his season debut due to recent injuries affecting De’Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan will also navigate significant defensive line absences as Nick Bosa, Romello Height, James Thompson, Ephesians Prysock, Tatum Bethune, Enrique Cruz, and Kurtis Rourke sit out. Additionally, Viliami Fehoko, Kevin Givens, and Sebastian Valdez are active for the first time this year.
