49ers vs. Ravens, preseason 2014: Game Time, TV Schedule, Live Online Stream, Injuries

Fooch's Update: Recap of the 49ers 23-3 loss.

Hey, what do you know, football is back in our lives! It is only preseason football, but we've got a game day meant for the hard core folks like us. The San Francisco 49ers travel to face the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of Super Bowl XLVII, and certainly the least intense of the Harbowls.

There is less "preview" content for this game than you'll normally see during the regular season because this is less about the matchup, and more about the 49ers players. The Ravens have their own interesting storylines, but we are here to see how the 49ers roster battles are impacted. The 49ers have a month to figure out their opening 53-man roster. Thus far they've had a couple weeks of practice that will play a big role in the decision-making process. Tonight's game is the next step, and it continues on from there.

Injuries

For tonight's game, there won't be an "inactive" list before the game, but we've got a good idea of who probably will not be playing. They break down as follows:

PUP: LB NaVorro Bowman (knee), NT Ian Williams (lower leg), TE Garrett Celek (back), DL Kaleb Ramsey (NA)
NFI: RB Marcus Lattimore (knee/hamstring), FB Trey Millard (knee), CB Keith Reaser (knee) and G Brandon Thomas (knee)

Additionally, we know Alex Boone will not be in attendance due to his contract dispute.

There are also going to be players who do not play due to a variety of injuries. Players almost certain to not play tonight include Michael Crabtree, LaMichael James, Anthony Davis, Brandon Lloyd, Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, and Tramaine Brock. That list includes guys who either have not practiced in training camp, and guys who have not practiced for several days in a row. Chris Culliver might be a question mark, having sat out Monday's practice, but odds are pretty good he plays.

Among healthy players, Frank Gore is the most likely not to play. Greg Roman would not confirm one way or the other, but odds seem pretty good that he does not play.
