The 49ers and Ravens square off Thanksgiving night on NFL Network and they have released their pre-game injury reports as kickoff is an hour away. The biggest news is that Ray Lewis will sit out the game with his toe injury. Given the short week it is not surprising, but it is still a pretty big deal. Lewis is getting up there in age but he remains a dynamic presence on the defensive interior. Removing him from the equation might open things up for the 49ers inside.
For the 49ers, Bruce Miller is officially out with a concussion. He was doubtful so his deactivation is not surprising. The 49ers will go with Moran Norris at fullback and third string tight end Justin Peelle will act as Norris' backup. Norris has been inactive the last two months and Miller emerged as a strong presence at fullback. This will be a big test for the 49ers without their emerging rookie fullback.
49ers: FB Bruce Miller, QB Scott Tolzien, NT Ian Williams, OL Mike Person, OL Daniel Kilgore, WR Brett Swain, CB Shawntae Spencer
Ravens: LB Ray Lewis, WR Tandon Doss, CB Chris Carr, LB Sergio Kindle, RB Anthony Allen, LB Dannell Ellerbe and DT Arthur Jones
