this coming Monday White Arik Armstead Jersey , but the Giants should put up a lot more of a fight than we saw from the Oakland Raiders last week. Eli Manning is running on fumes, but Saquon Barkley, Odell Beckham, Jr., and Sterling Shepard will provide a stiff challenge to a 49ers defense that has shown signs of life, but is still inconsistent.The 49ers have settled into Ahkello Witherspoon starting opposite Richard Sherman. Witherspoon struggled and was benched for a spell, but has started three straight games and looked fairly solid in them. And now Witherspoon will face a heck of a challenge against the Giants.Witherspoon plays exclusively at right cornerback, while Sherman plays exclusively at left cornerback. The Giants move their receivers around, and it is safe to say OBJ will get a lot of work opposite Witherspoon. Sterling Shepard is the second starter, but spends most of his time in the slot. Bennie Fowler is technically the first receiver off the bench, and plays outside in the Giants three-receiver sets.OBJ might want to challenge Sherman http://www.authenticssanfrancisco49ers.com/cheap-k_waun-williams-jersey , but it would surprise me if he played even half his snaps on Sherman’s side. Sherman has come back to earth a little bit the past couple weeks, but he is still looking like a solid cornerback. With Witherspoon’s solid emergence lately, the Giants might mix it up a bit, but look for Witherspoon to be tested in a big way.Witherspoon is ready for the challenge. He told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Jennifer Chan that he is, “[v]ery excited. To be the best, you have to beat the best. It’s a great opportunity, I’m excited.” And OBJ is one of the best. Witherspoon will get a chance to show if the past couple weeks are an exception, or if he is turning a corner after a rough start to the season.Kyle Shanahan offers updates on handful of injured 49ers The San Francisco 49ers appear to have avoided any significant injuries in their Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Right guard Mike Person has a foot strain and fellow RG Joshua Garnett has a dislocated toe, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Neither had any broken bones, and now it’s a matter of seeing how they respond to treatment. Shanahan confirmed that linebacker Brock Coyle is in the concussion protocol, and also said that widereceiver Marquise Goodwin is day-to-day with a deep thigh bruise.Person and Garnett will not be headed to injured reserve Youth Jaquiski Tartt Jersey , but their statuses for Week 2 will not be known until later this week. If both are unable to play, one has to think the team will sign another guard. Erik Magnuson is working his way back, and Shanahan said he would likely be upgraded from a practice DNP to limited. He might still be inactive this week, but he is making progress. Additionally, Matt Tobin can play center and guard.Goodwin’s absence resulted in a bigger role for Dante Pettis. Goodwin got back briefly in the second half, but couldn’t keep going and was sidelined the rest of the way. I suspect he will be listed as limited on Wednesday, and we’ll see where it goes from there. If Coyle is unable to make it through the concussion protocol by this weekend, Elijah Lee would likely start in his place next to Fred Warner.The 49ers currently have 52 players on their roster after placing Dekoda Watson on injured reserve last weekend. The team is visiting with two potential replacements for Watson, but they could also still add a linebacker to replace Coyle or an offensive lineman for depth at guard. Shanahan said they would make a move in time for Wednesday’s first practice of the week.
