The San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams released their final injury reports for Sunday's Week 8 contest, and the 49ers are going to be dealing with some issues. Carlos Hyde is out with a foot injury, and Anquan Boldin is questionable with a hamstring injury. Boldin has said he will play on Sunday, but I'm sure he will still want to test out the hamstring in pre-game. Running on astro-turf is not exactly ideal, although the sinkholes at Levi's Stadium are problematic in their own right.
The Rams have their own injury issues. Their vaunted defensive line is a little bit banged up. Defensive end Chris Long remains out. His replacement, William Hayes, is listed as questionable with a thigh injury. Defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) and safety T.J. McDonald (shoulder) are both listed as questionable as well. I imagine they will be playing, but the 49ers could use any break they can get. A banged up player or two is helpful. Well, assuming you're not looking for improved draft position!
