49ers vs. Seahawks Wild Card Playoff Live Blog
SANTA CLARA — That is the reside weblog for the San Francisco 49ers’ Wild Card Playoff sport towards the Seattle Seahawks. I’ll replace this steadily with info and evaluation from the press field.
11:25 One key for each groups on this sport is to strike early whereas the rain is comparatively delicate. Proper now, there is a gentle drizzle, which should not have an effect on the sport an excessive amount of. However the rain is meant to choose up all through the sport, and at 4:00 there’s speculated to be a thunderstorm, which implies there is a risk the sport may cease within the fourth quarter if there’s lightning.
Shanahan has to have a sport plan prepared simply in case it rains tougher than anticipated. He ought to have a number of screens and quick passes off play motion within the sport plan to maintain the chains shifting. He additionally ought to name quick choice routes for Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Jauan Jennings, as a result of these routes are extraordinarily troublesome to cowl on a slippery discipline.
Pete Carroll will try and disguise his protection’s coverages and bait Brock Purdy into throwing interceptions in his first playoff sport — Carroll did this efficiently to Purdy final month in Seattle. So it is crucial for Shanahan to name as many passes as doable that do not require a lot studying. Get Purdy out of the pocket, as a result of he is comparatively quick for a quarterback and he can see the sector higher when there aren’t linemen in entrance of him. When he crops himself within the pocket, he has to maneuver and slide to search out throwing home windows.

Seahawks Rule Out Ken Walker III For TNF at Bears
Three days after suffering an ankle injury in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Seattle Seahawks will be without running back Ken Walker III when they travel for a post-Christmas battle against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Walker exited Sunday’s loss to Minnesota late in the fourth quarter following a goal line run and the team quickly declared him doubtful to return. With Seattle only holding two walkthroughs leading up to Thursday’s Week 17 contest in Chicago, he was listed as a non-participant for both, a clear sign he wouldn’t be able to recover in time to suit up for the critical late-season matchup.
Injuries have been a significant problem for Walker in his third season with the Seahawks, as he already missed four games earlier in the year with oblique and calf injuries, including two games earlier this month against the Cardinals and Packers.
With Walker sidelined, Seattle will turn to Zach Charbonnet for his fifth start of the season after the second-year back wasn’t listed on the final injury report. He only had one carry against Minnesota after missing practice time last week with an oblique strain, but he was upgraded to full participant on Tuesday and Wednesday’s walkthrough.
Behind Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh will serve as the primary backup and should see extensive action, especially with Charbonnet not being 100 percent healthy himself. The team could also sign George Holani off of the practice squad to the 53-man roster, but a corresponding move would need to be made to create a spot for him.
Aside from Walker, the Seahawks also ruled out tight end Brady Russell with a foot issue and he will miss his fifth game out of the past seven. He could be a candidate for injured reserve if the team wants to sign Holani to help replace Walker on the depth chart at running back.
Safety K’Von Wallace, who returned to practice two weeks ago from injured reserve, will not be activated prior to Thursday’s game in Chicago. Seattle will have to make a decision on whether or not to activate him for the season finale in Los Angeles next week.
