49ers have declared seven players inactive for Week 6

Jason and Andrew dissect critical offensive line concerns, defensive versatility, and key injury updates as roster battles heat up following San Francisco’s impressive display against the Chargers.

The 49ers re-signed linebacker Garret Wallow to a one-year deal, the team announced Wednesday.

The San Francisco 49ers only have four off-ball linebackers on their roster for 2026, so they may need to re-sign one of their pending free agents.

Eric Kendricks was sitting at home waiting for the right opportunity when the San Francisco 49ers called him Thanksgiving week with the offer of a spot on the practice squad. Garret Wallow was picked up by San Francisco off waivers in December after being cast off by the Denver Broncos. The two linebackers who were afterthoughts for most of the 2025 season played key roles for the banged-up San Francisco 49ers in their wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles that set up a divisional round matchup against Seattle on Saturday.

The San Francisco 49ers relied on two new linebackers to lead their defense against the Philadelphia Eagles, and Brian Baldinger loved what he saw.

The 49ers add to their squad as two former New England Patriots join the team this week.

49ers bolster linebacker corps with Garret Wallow acquisition, while Ben Bartch lands on injured reserve, impacting offensive line depth.
