Game News
Fred Warner is great, but he shouldn't be the closest defender to Brandin Cooks
Source: Texans expected to bring back head coach David Culley via @TheAthletic theathletic.com/3047682/2022/0…
Really nice throw and catch by Davis Mills and Nico Collins on that third down. Great pass protection by Rex Burkhead too. I don't understand how David Johnson and Phillip Lindsay were playing ahead of him.
Desmond King had zero interceptions in the past two seasons. Now has three in his first season under Lovie Smith.
The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for their afternoon matchup with the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
Prior to the game, the team announced that running back Salvon Ahmed, tight end Hunter Long, center Cameron Tom, linebacker Vince Biegel, cornerback Trill Williams, and linebacker Darius Hodge are inactive for the contest.
Ahmed is a healthy scratch for the second week in a row with Duke Johnson and Phillip Lindsay taking a bigger role in the backfield. Long’s return to the inactive list is due to the return of Adam Shaheen and Cethan Carter to the gameday roster
#Texans Injury Update: #36 DB Jonathan Owens is questionable with a wrist injury. #HOUvsSF
Today’s Texans Inactives pic.twitter.com/mJY1IkoOz8
— Drew Dougherty (@DoughertyDrew) January 2, 2022
The Houston Texans announced their inactives ahead of their Week 17 encounter with the San Francisco 49ers.
Defensive tackle Maliek Collins, who came off of the COVID-19 reserve, was declared inactive for the game.
Other Texans inactives included quarterback Deshaun Watson (not injury related), cornerback Jimmy Moreland (illness), defensive back Cre’von LeBlanc, defensive end Chris Smith, and defensive end Derek Rivers
Houston Texans safety Justin Reid not only gets sideline passes to Davis Mills running the offense, but he also gets to work with him every day in practice.
According to the Texans’ fourth-year safety from Stanford, Mills is progressing as a rookie after 11 games, nine of which he has started.
“The growth that Davis has had from the beginning of the season to where we are now has been tremendous,†Reid told reporters on Dec. 31. “It’s what was expected. He’s a very smart guy, capable of making all the throws. He’s taken advantage of the opportunity to grow with all of this with the starts he’s had, and he’s just consistently gotten better.â€
It's Trey Lance today for the 49ers. And it's reportedly surgery for Jimmy G after the season. How Lance plays necessarily will become a huge factor in determining what happens for the team at QB in 2022. wp.me/pbBqYq-c9X0
49ers' RB Elijah Mitchell, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury, is expected to play vs. the Texans, per source.
49ers' quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a torn UCL in his right thumb, is not expected to Play vs Texans, but 49ers are optimistic he will be able to return for the regular-season finale vs. the Rams, per sources.
That was a great throw from Trey Lance. He threw Deebo Samuel open by taking a little off the distance
George Kittle on the kid who ran onto the field and found his way to Shanahan: "I was talking to Tom Compton and all I heard was, 'Deebo, I love you.'"
Fred Warner had 15 tackles for the 49ers today. He's playing his best football
Kyle Shanahan on the little kid who ran onto the field and made it to him on the 49ers sideline. Shanahan was confused when he heard a voice say: "Holy cow, it's Kyle Shanahan."

Ambry Thomas is growing up. Next step: Catch it
Today was the biggest game of Marcell Harris' career: 10 tackles and an interception that changed the game. Huge performance for the 49ers safety-turned-linebacker
What a catch by Aiyuk. The concentration to both snag that post-tip and get both feet down... next level stuff to set up Robbie Gould
Dontae Johnson essentially seals the game with a pass breakup, and that's a great story given all he's been through. His mother passed away unexpectedly last month, so I'm sure the 49ers sideline is thrilled for Johnson to deliver a key moment
Shanahan confirms that the 49ers benched Josh Norman (no injury) in favor of Dontae Johnson's after the DPI
Emmanuel Moseley might be back next week. 49ers will be looking at multiple options re: potential CB pairings. Moseley-Norman was the initial supposition, but SF benched Norman today and Dontae Johnson had the sealing PBU. Ambry Thomas also played his best game. What'll it be?
Best 49ers' pass-rush rep of the day. All 4 won and pushed the pocket back. And Samson Ebukam's sack ended up preventing points
No sacks for Nick Bosa today, but the 49ers made the Texans pay for their double teams with Armstead, Ebukam, Arden Key and Jordan Willis all getting in on sack action. A balanced pass rush will absolutely be necessary in Week 18 and the playoffs and SF is showing that
JaMycal Hasty, the team's third-down back, gets a huge reception on third down to pick up a first down at the Houston 8.
Also, is Jaquiski Tartt ever in the wrong spot? He's missed some tackles this year, but he's so consistently well-positioned. Such a smart player
Big third-down sack for Ebukam. That's 5.5 on the season, puts him ahead of Arden Key for second on the team.
Trent Williams standing along the sideline. Looks like his day his over. He got up very slowly after a play on the previous drive. (The one in which Mitchell was helicoptered).
Jimmie Ward leverages his 195-pound weight to hit like a 220 pounder
Great push by Arik Armstead leads to big third-down sack. And Texans miss the 45-yard field goal. Big swing for #49ers there.
#49ers WR Jauan Jennings doesn't make a ton of catches but he sure has a knack for making the important ones.
Nate Sudfeld, up from the #49ers practice squad, will be the backup QB for the third time this season. twitter.com/garoppopotamus…
Good DeMeco Ryans blitz bullet burned by Tartt's personal foul
Mitch Wishnowsky with a 52-yard punt, 15-yard return for a net 37.
On third down, Arden Key replaces D.J. Jones to rush the passer from the inside in the #49ers nickel defense.
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles ran onto the field late, prompting the 49ers to burn a timeout. (Remember this for later)
Brady is so smart. He saw S Will Parks on Evans in the slot and ... there you go, a long completion. #Jets
