SANTA CLARA, Calif.—From an injury standpoint, there wasn't any mystery about who is and isn't playing for the Seahawks in their Week 11 game against the 49ers.
Tight ends Noah Fant and Brady Russell were ruled out on Friday's injury report, while no other players have injury designations coming into the game.
That means, as expected, that receiver DK Metcalf is back after missing the past two games with a knee injury, and that right tackle Abraham Lucas is active after spending the first nine games of the season on the physical unable to perform list.
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald did not say whether Lucas will start, but it is expected that he will play, though perhaps on a pitch count.
"We're anticipating seeing him in a pretty significant manner," Macdonald said Friday. "We're still on a progression here, so the amount of reps that we're going to get, we'll see as the game unfolds. We have a plan, we have a target rep count, we'll leave that in house right now, but excited to see him go do his thing."
Also active for the Seahawks are two players signed off the practice squad on Saturday, receiver Cody White, who will serve as one of the three game-day captains, and tight end Tyler Mabry, who provides depth at tight end with Russell and Fant both out. The Seahawks also elevated two players from the practice squad who are also active for Sunday's game, safety Ty Okada and linebacker Patrick O'Connell.
For the 49ers, All-Pro tight end George Kittle is inactive after being listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury. Two of San Francisco's other top players who were listed as questionable, defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams, are both active.
Here are the inactive lists for both teams:
