As 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said last week, the team came out of the Bears win the healthiest they have ever been after a game this season. However, the only injury question going into the game was right tackle Trenton Brown and his baulky shoulder. Brown will not play against the Texans, which is a huge loss for the 49ers.
It will likely be Zane Beadles who get the start at right tackle and he hasn’t be in the lineup since week one when he started at left guard.
Beadles will draw a lot of Jadeveon Clowney, who has nine sacks and he’s playing like the first overall pick he was in 2014.
Aaron Lynch is also up for this game after being inactive for the last six games. Lynch, who is a free agent, might get a chance Sunday to see what he has as a passer rusher against stationary Texans’ quarterback Tom Savage.
Strong safety Eric Reid was limited with a knee injury but he will also play. The team will also free safety Adrian Colbert again Sunday, who is still recovering from thumb surgery.
Also, Ronald Blair, who has played well for the last couple of games, will be a healthy scratch.
