49ers declared K Eddy Pineiro, RB Jordan James, WR Jordan Watkins, OL Connor Colby, DL Robert Beal Jr., DL Kevin Givens, and LB Tatum Bethune inactive for Week 12 against the Panthers.
Linebacker Tatum Bethune and kicker Eddy Pineiro are the two most notable names missing for the 49ers as they fight to keep pace with the Rams and Seahawks at the top of a crowded NFC West. Matt Gay will fill in at kicker while the team will likely require a slight shuffling on the interior of their second level with Bethune out of action.
