In preparation for the highly anticipated NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions, the San Francisco 49ers have made some important roster moves. On Saturday, the team announced the elevation of wide receiver Willie Snead and linebacker Curtis Robinson from their practice squad. Both players will now be available to suit up and contribute in Sunday's crucial matchup.

Unfortunately, the 49ers also had to provide some less favorable news regarding defensive tackle Kalia Davis. Davis has been ruled out for the game due to an ankle injury. It was reported earlier this week that Davis had returned to full participation during practices after being allowed to open the practice window. Despite his absence from this game, Davis remains on injured reserve and could potentially be activated if the 49ers secure a victory and advance to Super Bowl LVIII.

There is a ray of hope for linebacker Oren Burks, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury. Burks had a collision during Thursday's practice and was limited in his participation on Friday. The 49ers will be closely monitoring Burks' progress and considering his availability for the matchup.

It is worth noting that the 49ers' decision to elevate two players from their practice squad is a common practice during the postseason. This move allows the team to have additional depth and options, regardless of whether these players are intended to be active in the game. Furthermore, each player on all four teams participating in the conference championship games this weekend will receive a lucrative sum of $73,000 for advancing to this stage of the playoffs.

As for Snead, his chances of being in uniform may have diminished with the improvement in Deebo Samuel's physical condition. The 49ers have removed any injury designation from Samuel, suggesting that they may not require an additional wide receiver for the game.

All eyes will be on Levi's Stadium at 3:30 p.m. as the San Francisco 49ers look to secure their place in the Super Bowl. With the addition of Snead and Robinson, along with the potential return of Burks, the team aims to bolster their roster and overcome their opponents in what promises to be an enthralling NFC Championship Game.
