The 49ers won’t run their No. 2 back for Sunday’s NFC Championship game.
Elijah Mitchell is inactive with a groin injury.
Mitchell was ruled questionable after not training all week. Mitchell had 14 carries for 51 yards in the win over Dallas last week. He also caught a touchdown pass in the wildcard win over Seattle.
But San Francisco has plenty of running back opportunities, starting with Christian McCaffrey. While he didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday, on Friday he was a full participant and had no injury status for the game.
Deebo Samuel is also likely to see work outside of the backfield. Jordan Mason is also an option for running back, as is Tevin Coleman, who was lifted from the practice team and is active.
Cornerback Amber Thomas (ankle) is also inactive after being questionable for the game.
On the other hand, cornerback Avonte Maddox is officially back from his toe injury. He had no injury status on Friday. The Eagles did not have a game-status player in their 53-man roster.
The 49ers have inactive quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, defensive end Drake Jackson, offensive lineman Nick Zakelj, running back Ty Davis-Price and tight end Ross Dwelley.
The Eagles’ inactives are quarterback Ian Book, cornerback Josiah Scott, running back Trey Sermon, safety Anthony Harris, linebacker Kyron Johnson, and offense lineman Josh Sills.
