    Santa Clara Puts The 49er's In A COVID Corner

    Santa Clara County officials say that no pro or college sports teams are able to have games or practices in the county that include direct contact for the next three weeks. That, of course, includes the #9ers, who have two home games (Dec. 7 and 13) scheduled in that window.

    49ers activate RB Raheem Mostert, CB Richard Sherman and RB Jeff Wilson Jr. off IR. They also activate T Trent Williams and LB Joe Walker from the COVID-19 list.

    Hopefully they move the games to Las Vegas, especially the Redskins game.

    So what do they do now? Mark Maske of the Washington Post says that the 49ers will try to get local authorities to make an exception for them first, but that they have a contingency plan:

    49ers first will try to work with Santa Clara County. If nothing can be worked out there, they will implement an in-place contingency plan to practice and play home games elsewhere, source says. Remaining home games: Dec. 7 vs. Bills, Dec. 13 vs. Washington, Jan. 3 vs. Seahawks.

    Matt Maiocco, who covers the 49ers for NBC Sports in the Bay Area, says his “best guess” is that the 49ers relocate to Texas or Arizona.

    And as for Stanford, what can they do? You can’t pick up and move a college team nearly as easily as you can a professional team. Maybe they could find a neighboring county in California that is more hospitable, as they did during training camp.
