Deommodore Lenoir, San Francisco's top cornerback, was the prime target of former 49er and ex-NBC Sports Bay Area analyst Donte Whitner for seemingly shying away from a critical tackle that could have swung last week's 13-3 loss against the Seahawks in the 49ers' favor.

At linebacker, the 49ers are especially depleted. And while the Eagles’ offense isn’t nearly as dangerous as it was during their Super Bowl run, it still presents a tough test with reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts leading the unit.

There is "some concern" Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson won't return from his foot injury in time to face the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's Wild Card matchup, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said Saturday.

The 49ers are dealing with a rash of injuries, while the Eagles have been inconsistent on offense despite deep talent.

The 49ers’ corners have to know it’s coming, but knowing it and stopping Brown from boxing you out are two very different things. Expect Philadelphia to exploit this matchup to overcome its offensive dysfunction. It could prove to be the difference in this game.

The San Francisco 49ers elevated two players from the practice squad for their wild card matchup vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.

The final four on the 17-game list are 49ers who have played full seasons in the past: cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, tackle Colton McKivitz, guard Dominic Puni and fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who sustained a broken rib in a Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns.
