The SF 49ers are still likely to be without nickel back K’Waun Williams, meaning LA Rams wideout Cooper Kupp is a major threat.

If the SF 49ers want to keep their diminishing playoff hopes alive, they’ll have to ensure they go 2-0 for their season series against the LA Rams, who host the Niners in a critical Week 12 NFC West matchup at SoFI Stadium.

And if San Francisco wants to ensure that happens, it’ll have to do the same kind of work it did against the Rams’ leading wide receiver, Cooper Kupp.
