Adam Copeland is joined by Athletic 49ers Writer Matt Barrows to review the 49ers season opening win vs Detroit & what's the latest on some of the big injuries from the game. 49ers beat the Lions in the opener in Detroit and are staying back East since they play the Eagles next Sunday. The 49ers had 2 big injuries in the game and Matt talks about how the team will look to fill those 2 big holes. Matt talks about the surprising healthy scratch vs the Lions that Trey Sermon got and how it actually paid for vs Detroit. He talks about the chances that the 49ers call Richard Sherman to come fill the hole left by Jason Verrett's injury. And they talk about what the team thought of the win even though the game got tight at the end.
