49ers nearly fully healthy for playoff showdown vs. Cowboys

The 49ers will play the biggest game of the 2022 NFL season when they take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in the NFC Divisional Playoff at Levi's Stadium, and they'll do it with a nearly fully healthy squad. 

There aren't any surprises in this week's inactives lists.

Cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) and veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo were ruled out vs. Dallas. The other five inactive 49ers players are healthy scratches, the team announced just before the game.

The 49ers on Saturday elevated veteran cornerback Janoris "Jackrabbit" Jenkins from the practice squad, and he likely will fill a backup role with Thomas out. 

Defensive lineman Alex Barrett also was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

The Cowboys listed veteran offensive tackle Jason Peters as out with a hip injury. Starting safety Jayron Kearse, who previously was listed as questionable with a knee injury, will take the field Sunday.
