Dawgs By Nature Dawgs By Nature

The Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers will kick off a few days after Thanksgiving with a game expected to be greatly impacted by the weather. Quarterback Brock Purdy has struggled during his NFL career, while quarterback Shedeur Sanders has a chance to impact the Browns NFL draft plans.

The 49ers are in a fight for NFC playoff positioning despite their stellar 8-4 record going into Week 13 as they are currently third in the NFC West Division behind the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. Cleveland is holding on to slim AFC playoff hopes, with the 2026 NFL Draft order likely the focus for the rest of the 2025 NFL season.

On Saturday, the Browns elevated defensive tackle Sam Kamara from the practice squad for today’s game, while the 49ers added kicker Matt Gay and linebacker Jalen Graham from their practice squad.

The two teams each ruled out three players on Friday for today’s matchup, with Cleveland running Jerome Ford the only questionable player heading into the weekend. Now, with 90 minutes left until kickoff, we have both teams’ inactive reports.
