The Week 11 Monday Night Football offering is the last NFL International Series offering, as two NFC West teams head to Mexico for a crucial clash. With the San Francisco 49ers facing the Arizona Cardinals at Estadio Azteca, there are some important names on both sides that are questionable. Therefore, the NFL inactives list for this game could have a huge bearing on the potential outcome.
Let’s take a loot who is at risk of missing this 49ers vs. Cardinals matchup and see how the final injury reports shaped up for the week.
