49ers news: Josh Dobbs is the QB2 tonight against the Lions

The San Francisco 49ers’ inactive list is out and a new QB2 is coming. Here’s a look at the inactive list:

QB Brandon Allen

DL Khalil Davis

LB Dre Greenlaw

Olympic Spencer Burford

DL Robert Beal Jr.

CB Charvarius department

RB Israel Abanikanda

With Allen inactive, that means Josh Dobbs will back up Brock Purdy. The last time this happened, Kyle Shanahan said he thought Dobbs could help with his legs — essentially an admission of not having much faith in the offensive line.

The 49ers haven’t gotten much from Davis since signing him Houston Texas. The same can be said for Abanikanda, although both could be on the cards for the future in some capacity going forward.

It will be the Isaac Guerendo Show tonight, where Patrick Taylor Jr. spells him. I would expect Shanahan and the offense to lean on the rookie coming out of the backfield. Two weeks ago, Buffalo’s James Cook had 105 yards against Detroit.
