What does their injury list look like for this game? Because the Rams seem to be pretty healthy right now.
Niners have a real problem in their secondary. Here's what it looked like right before the Miami game according to Nick Wagoner. Maybe someone can clarify the current status?
"The
San Francisco 49ers added two more players to their injured reserve list Saturday, one of which leaves them particularly thin at cornerback.
Nickelback
K'Waun Williams is headed to injured reserve because of a sprained knee, which means he must miss at least the next three games. Defensive end
Ezekiel Ansah (torn biceps) has also officially been added to injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season.
Williams joins starting cornerback
Richard Sherman (calf) on IR and with
Emmanuel Moseley out this week as he continues to deal with a concussion, the Niners will be without their top three cornerbacks for Sunday's game against the
Miami Dolphins.
Backup cornerback
Dontae Johnson has also been ruled out because of a groin injury and cornerback
Ahkello Witherspoon is listed as questionable as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury."
On Sunday the Niners were reduced to starting a practice squad guy (the other Brian Allen) at cb to disastrous effect. Now Sherman does not appear ready to come off IR.
Here's a later story this week:

Niners' other problem is at QB. Garapollo was clearly not ready to come back from an ankle injury against Miami, then Shanahan benched him at halftime. Will Shanahan again try to play a <100% JG, this time against the Rams? Meanwhile he benched his former No. 2 Mullins two weeks ago. Last man standing is C.J. Beathard?
Not a pretty picture for the Niners. They are on the edge of cratering for this season and maybe needing a new qb.
