WATCH: Jimmy Garoppolo hits Kendrick Bourne for 10-yard TD pass

Jimmy Garoppolo is dealing again and the 49ers lead the Seahawks early.

Jimmy Garoppolo is dealing again. He led a seven-play, 83-yard scoring drive on the 49ers’ second possession on Monday night. He capped the series with a 10-yard strike to Kendrick Bourne, who strolled in for an easy score and a 10-0 49ers lead.

Garoppolo is 7-of-11 for 89 yards and a touchdown.  Bourne has two catches for 26 yards and a score.

DJ Jones eviscerates Seahawks OL, sacks Russell Wilson

DJ Jones blew up Joey Hunt and sacked Russell Wilson.

DJ Jones was lined up across from Seahawks’ backup center Joey Hunt on a third-and-2 on Seattle’s first series.

Jones might as well have lined up across from a traffic cone.

That’s one way to make sure Russell Wilson can’t escape the pocket.

Jimmy Garoppolo busts out his own hip-thrusting warmup before MNF and fans had jokes

NFL QB hip warmup videos are now a thing.

So it looks like we have a new thing on our hands, and that thing is videos of NFL quarterbacks working on getting their hips warmed up before games.

This started Sunday night when the NBC SNF broadcast gave the world a great video of Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott doing an explosive hip-thrusting move before the game. Fans quickly had fun putting that to music and the hashtag #DakDancesToAnything was born.

Now we have another QB showing off his hips as 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo was seen doing something that looked like a Hula Hoop motion with the Hula Hoop before Monday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks:

Warming up hips is nothing new, as this video of Jimmy G from a game against the Rams picked up steam on Twitter on Monday afternoon:

49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa even gave it a shot, too:

Donovan McNabb, meanwhile, isn’t happy with jokes about this stuff.

But fans had jokes about Jimmy G’s moves:

Who danced it better, Dak Prescott or Jimmy Garoppolo?

Seems like quarterback are emulating each other when it comes to dance moves. Dak Prescott went viral for some of his before the Vikings met his Dallas Cowboys Sunday. Then, prior to the Seattle Seahawks visiting the San Francisco 49ers Monday, Jimmy Garoppolo decided to take part in “So You Think You Can Dance,” NFL style.

Dak:

Jimmy G:

Kirk Cousins may have downed Dak and the Cowboys but don’t think his moves compete with his fellow quarterbacks.

 

George Kittle officially inactive for 49ers vs. Seahawks

The 49ers won’t have their star tight end in their biggest game of the year.

The 49ers will officially be without their star tight end Monday night against the Seahawks. Tight end George Kittle has officially been ruled out after being given a ‘doubtful’ designation Saturday. He joins kicker Robbie Gould and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon among the inactive starters for San Francisco.

Here’s the full list of inactives for the 49ers:

TE George Kittle
OL Justin Skule
RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
QB C.J. Beathard
DT Jullian Taylor
CB Ahkello Witherspoon
K Robbie Gould

The silver lining in this group is that it doesn’t include Joe Staley, Mike McGlinchey or Kyle Juszczyk. The two starting tackles and starting fullback were instrumental in the 49ers’ dominance on the ground early in the year.

Staley broke his fibula in Week 2, McGlinchey hurt his knee and needed arthroscopic surgery after Week 5, and Juszczyk sprained his MCL in Week 5.

Witherspoon was ‘100 percent healthy’ according to a report from NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan, but he’s still inactive after being limited in practice all week with foot and quad injuries. He sprained his foot in Week 3, then suffered a setback just as he was getting ready to return.

Gould getting ruled out isn’t a huge surprise. San Francisco braced for that by adding kicker Chase McLaughlin on Wednesday after Gould suffered a quad injury during Tuesday’s bonus practice.

San Francisco survived without their tackles and fullback on offense, now they have to devise a way to win without their most impactful player on that side of the ball.

Here are the Seahawks inactives:

Seahawks vs. 49ers: Week 10 inactives for Monday night

Who’s in and who’s out for “Monday Night Football” – the complete Week 10 inactive lists for the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to square off against the San Francisco 49ers Monday night in their Week 10 contest.

Seattle did not rule out any players ahead of the matchup, nor was anyone listed as doubtful. Only safety Lano Hill (elbow) and guard Phil Haynes (ankle) were noted as questionable to play.

“One thing I can tell you, we can’t talk about hamstrings and ankles today because we’re in pretty good shape here,” coach Pete Carroll said following Saturday’s walkthrough. Only a couple guys on the list. We can cut all that stuff out and just go right to whatever you want to know.”

Here are the inactive players Week 10 for the Seahawks:

And the 49ers inactives:

Kickoff is scheduled for 5:15 p.m PT from Levi’s Stadium. You can watch the national broadcast on ESPN or channel 7 in the Seattle area. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the Monday night action.

Seahawks will not activate Ed Dickson in time for Monday night

The Seattle Seahawks opted not to activate Ed Dickson from the injured reserve ahead of their Monday night game against San Francisco.

The Seattle Seahawks chose not to activate tight end Ed Dickson off the injured reserve before Monday night’s bout with the San Francisco 49ers, delaying his season debut another week.

The Seahawks only have one more week before they will either have to activate Dickson, or cut him loose.

Dickson was placed on the injured reserve just before the start of the season. He was eligible to return against the Buccaneers in Week 9, but the team decided to keep him on the IR while he got his legs back.

That appears to be the plan again this week as well. The Seahawks will go with the trio of Luke Willson, Jacob Hollister, and George Fant against the 49ers.

Dickson missed the first half of last season as well, before returning to haul in 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in the second half.

That kind of production would be great for a Seattle team that lost Will Dissly to season-ending surgery for the second year in a row.

However, Seattle will have to wait another week to see Dickson in action.

Josh Gordon appreciates Seahawks culture, playing for Russell Wilson

The Seattle Seahawks’ new wide receiver Josh Gordon expressed an appreciation for the team’s culture and playing for Russell Wilson.

The Seattle Seahawks claimed wide receiver Josh Gordon off waivers after being cut by the New England Patriots and he is very satisfied to be with his new team in the Emerald City.

“I’m just grateful to be here,” Gordon said following Saturday’s practice. “I’m grateful to be here. There’s a lot of gratitude. Definitely thankful to land in a spot like this. Could’ve been anywhere, I couldn’t control that. Nonetheless, I’m grateful to have this opportunity to just go out there and do what I do.

“It has been great. It’s been a smooth transition. A great environment, a great football team, and organization. I’m really happy to be here.”

Gordon expressed his appreciation for the culture in the Seahawks’ locker room from the players to the coaches.

“The energy is high energy, all the time, everybody,” he said. “Top to bottom, all across the board. Offense and defense, staff. I love it. Keeps everybody kind of moving, everybody’s on their toes and in the right frame of mind to come in and do what you have to do and just perform, work, and compete.”

Gordon stated he and Russell Wilson discussed playing together for years, and he is looking forward to finally making it happen.

“Me and Russ have been talking about (playing together) for a long time, for a while behind the scenes – how nice it would be,” Gordon said. “Admire his game. I think maybe he respected mine mutually. I love the way he plays, it’s as simple as that. He’s a great ballplayer, he can make it happen from pretty much anywhere.”

Wilson offered words of praise for his new wide receiver after team practice this week.

“Josh, he’s been great since he’s gotten here,” Wilson told reporters on Friday. “He’s been studying like crazy. He sits up (front) and takes tons of notes. He’s highlighting like crazy. He’s in his playbook nonstop. He’s prepared. He’ll be prepared and ready to roll. He’s a true pro. He’s been in different systems and stuff like that. I think that helps him. I think he’s really fired up to be here. We’re fired up to have him.”

Fans hope Gordon can contribute to Seattle’s ambitions as they head into a brutal stretch of schedule through the second half of the season.

49ers activate TE Garrett Celek, waive CB Dontae Johnson

The 49ers made a pair of tweaks to their roster just in time for Monday night’s game vs. the Seahawks.

The 49ers made a roster move ahead of their Monday night showdown with the Seahawks. They officially activated tight end Garrett Celek off the PUP list, and waived cornerback Dontae Johnson to make room on the roster.

This move suggests two things. First, tight end George Kittle, who was already doubtful with knee and ankle injuries, will probably not play now that Celek is activated. Johnson’s departure is also a good sign for cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who’s been out since Week 3 with a foot injury.

Celek has been on the PUP list since undergoing back surgery during the offseason. His three-week practice window was opened the week leading up to the Seahawks game. San Francisco only needed to only see a week of action from Celek before putting him on the 53-man roster. He’d worked well as the second tight end during head coach Kyle Shanahan’s first two seasons. Ross Dwelley holds that spot now, but having Celek will give the 49ers an additional body to try and adequately replace Kittle’s production.

Prediction

Seahawks 23, 49ers 21

Moneyline (?)

The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league and this is a game ripe for an upset. As good as the 49ers have been this year, they showed a few flaws against Arizona last week against dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray.

Russell Wilson is having an MVP season and will lift the Seahawks to victory. Bet SEATTLE to win straight up with the moneyline (+220).

Against the Spread (?)

If we’re picking the Seahawks to win straight up, you bet we’re taking them with the points, too. Seattle is a 6.5-point underdog in Week 10, which is a huge spread for a divisional matchup – even if San Francisco is at home.

Happily take the points and take the SEAHAWKS (-110) to cover the 6.5-point margin. They’re 13-3 ATS in their last 16 against the 49ers.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under is a tough pick this week, since the total is just 46.5 points. The Seahawks offense can go on a tear at any moment thanks to Wilson, but San Francisco’s defense is dominant.

This should be a fairly low-scoring affair with both teams managing the clock. Bet the UNDER (-110) Monday night.
