You can have 7, but then you'd have to inactivate 6 players, it's apart of the CBA. The NFL wants each team to have 8 active, it'll help, especially if a player or 2 gets hurt on the OL, instead of having your 6th & 7th OL now playing with no backup, you now have 1 extra OL, hopefully that doesn't happen though.

Don't know the answer but agree on the value. Taybor Pepper is listed at 6'5" 245 lbs so he is definitely not a regular lineman, but looks like a potential gig for an inline TE type.

So we pull up 2 from the PS for 55, need to have 8 OL active and how many do we sit? Active 48?

Pulling up just Benjamin so we sit 6. If we don't pull up anyone from PS, you seat only 5 to reach 48.

If you bring 2 up, you inactivate 7 like you used to before they changed it last year.

You also don't have to bring up 2, you can bring up 1 or none, if someone gets put on the reserve/COVID-19 list then you can bring up a player for each guy on that list, and it doesn't count against the maximum of 2 games played per PS player for the season.

I really hope Hurd is active week 1, we need him to be out there producing, otherwise it's a waste of a roster spot. I agree with Jennings, Street, DFF, and yeah Ambry will be, it sucks. I hope Compton is inactive, but I guess his versatility to play G & T gets him the nod.

Week 1 inactives, IMO:
OL Banks
RB Hasty
WR Jennings
LB Al-Shaair (if still getting over injury)
CB Thomas

Hurd will be active if he recovers from the Raider game. I am thinking, he is still hurting. Just a gut feeling.

He's pretty bad.

He's reliable and always available. A favorite of opposing QBs and WRs.

Yup yup.

A new rule, implemented in 2020, allows for 48 active players on game days as long as 8 of them are O-linemen. Jake Brendel's spot on the 53 makes sense given that the 49ers are presumably trying to take advantage of that rule. https://t.co/UJ1cDHGTbQ

Love the new rule. Makes sense for so many reasons as well

I'd go
Thomas
Banks
Givens
I think those 3 are almost locks to be inactive, especially Thomas and Banks.
Then I think Jennings or Hurd and probably Arden Key, though with Dee Ford and Bosa not having played a game in nearly a year, it may be wise to suit Key up just in case and maybe have Dontae Johnson or Marcell Harris (two scrubs lol) inactive

That's 6 guys??? Also I think Street will def suit up. He had a heck of a camp and pre-season and was getting more 1st team reps than any of our backups with Kinlaw out. Him and Kerr are as good of a duo of backup DT's as you will find in the NFL right now.
