Dante Pettis inactive for 49ers in Super Bowl LIV

The 49ers are at full strength in search of their sixth Lombardi Trophy.

The 49ers will be at full strength for Super Bowl LIV.  No surprise injuries popped up after nobody showed up on the official injury report on Friday, but Dante Pettis was placed among the inactives in favor of running back Jeff Wilson.

Here’s the seven inactive players for San Francisco as they try for their sixth Lombardi Trophy:

QB CJ Beathard
WR Dante Pettis
CB Dontae Johnson
TE Daniel Helm
LB Azeez Al-Shaair
WR Jordan Matthews
DL Kevin Givens

Pettis has effectively been inactive throughout the playoffs. He’s suited up, but hasn’t gotten any snaps despite a couple blowouts. Wilson is active for the first time since Week 15, and his presence could be an indicator that the 49ers plan on running the ball a lot. It may also signal the team is a little worried about running back Tevin Coleman’s shoulder after he dislocated it in the NFC championship game.

That leaves San Francisco with just four wide receivers: Deebo Samuel, Emmanuel Sanders, Kendrick Bourne and Richie James Jr.

Coleman was the only real question coming out of the NFC championship. He missed team workouts during the Bye week, then was limited until the Friday before the Super Bowl.

The rest of the banged up 49ers should be good to go.

Defensive end Dee Ford dealt with a hamstring injury late in the year, but came back for a week of full practices in the week before the Super Bowl. Linebacker Kwon Alexander was a full participant Friday after being limited throughout the two weeks between the NFC championship and Sunday. He’s still recovering from a torn pectoral. Meanwhile, strong safety Jaquiski Tartt in the NFC championship aggravated his rib injury that forced him out of the final four games of the year. He was limited all week until Friday.

Here are the Chiefs inactives. Kansas City is also at full strength.
