49ers promote Alex Barrett and T.Y. McGill to the active roster; downgrade Kalia Davis to out

The San Francisco 49ers head into Super Bowl LVIII healthy. The only player ruled out is defensive tackle Kalia Davis, who had an outside chance of getting a snap had he been healthy.

San Francisco promoted defensive tackles Alex Barrett and T.Y. McGill to the active roster. That doesn’t necessarily mean those two will play. The Niners made a similar roster move in the NFC Championship and neither player who was called up played.

The benefit of elevating a player to the active roster is that he gets a game check, even without stepping onto the field.
