US Edition49ers Elevate Kicker Matt Gay, Linebacker Jalen Graham From Practice Squad
Kyle Shanahan plans a run-heavy strategy to counter harsh wind and rain with 60% precipitation chance, while maintaining a passing threat against Cleveland's defense.
- Ahead of the November 30 trip to Cleveland, Kyle Shanahan said he is `assuming the worst` as he prepares the team for windy conditions.
- Forecasts call for temperatures around 39 degrees with southwest winds between 25 and 35 miles per hour and a 60 percent chance of precipitation, with morning rain showers likely turning to snow by afternoon in Cleveland, Ohio.
- Emphasizing personnel, the 49ers plan to lean more on the run with Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr. while keeping the passing game in play, with Shanahan saying `The harder it rains, the more we're going to throw.`
- Brock Purdy faces weather challenges while seeking a bounce-back after three interceptions, and the San Francisco 49ers, with injuries limiting the unit, aim for a third straight win in the state of Ohio.
- Defensively, the 49ers must account for Shedeur Sanders, called a `good, young quarterback` by Robert Saleh on November 26, and Myles Garrett, who has seven sacks in his last two games.

When you looked at the 49ers’ schedule back in August, you probably circled this Week 13 trip to Cleveland as an easy road win. The Browns stink. They always stink. It’s part of the NFL’s natural order, like the sun rising or Tom Brady botching the broadcast call on a big third down. At 3-8, they stink again this year. But if you’re Kyle Shanahan, you better not dare overlook this game. Because this matchup is way more interesting than it has an…
