San Francisco 49ers LB Michael Wilhoite may be the leading candidate to start at inside linebacker while LB NaVorro Bowman (knee) is sidelined, because he has been in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s system for two years. Wilhoite is expected to compete with LBs Nick Moody, Chris Borland and Shayne Skov for the job.
