The 49ers elevated two veteran players from the practice squad to be available for the team's key NFC matchup Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 49ers elevated running back Tevin Coleman and defensive back Dontae Johnson. Both are expected to be in uniform for the team's Week 14 game at Levi's Stadium.
Coleman appeared in four games for the 49ers earlier this season when Elijah Mitchell was injured and the club had yet to acquire running back Christian McCaffrey. He gained 26 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, while also catching three passes for 44 yards and a touchdown.
