49ers vs Seahawks injury report and team news

San Francisco’s receiving room has been thinned by injury, with Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk both on injured reserve. Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks have taken the load alongside George Kittle.

Zach Charbonnet is on injured reserve for Seattle, leaving the backfield to Emanuel Wilson and George Holani.

Seattle has conceded 579 passing yards, the fewest of any team in the NFL.

Zero sacks against eleven

Start with the protection. San Francisco has given up nothing in 113 attempts, which is why Brock Purdy has eleven touchdown passes and a 126.2 rating, both at or near the top of the league.

Seattle is the first team equipped to break it. Eleven sacks, a 72.1 opponent passer rating that only Minnesota betters, and 28.6% allowed on third down.

San Francisco has one genuine vulnerability and it is personnel. With Pearsall and Kirk on injured reserve, the receiving group leans on Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks and Kittle, which is a narrower set of answers than it has needed so far.

Players to watch

  • George Kittle (SF, TE): 244 yards, and the surest hands in a depleted group.
  • Christian McCaffrey (SF, RB): 218 yards behind a line yet to concede a sack.
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA, WR): 481 yards from 32 catches, third in the league.
  • Cooper Kupp (SEA, WR): The second read in a passing game rating 112.1.
