Wide receiver Anquan Boldin will make his 39th straight start tonight against the Seahawks despite a hamstring injury that made him questionable on the injury report.

Running back Carlos Hyde (foot) and right tackle Erik Pears (back), who were also questionable, are also active. Hyde is playing with a stress fracture in his left foot, CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson reported. On Monday, head coach Jim Tomsula said Hyde just had a sore foot: “There’s nothing there,” he said. “Just soreness,”

Meanwhile, running back Jarryd Hayne is inactive for the first time this season.

Boldin, 35, didn’t play on the 49ers’ final series in last week’s 25-20 win over the Ravens after he appeared to sustain his hamstring injury on a failed two-point conversion. Colin Kaepernick targeted Boldin with a pass that was caught by safety Will Hill and Boldin pulled up as he was chasing Hill.

Boldin is playing four days after his first cousin, Corey Jones, 31, was the victim of a fatal police shooting that is making national headlines.

Hayne is inactive after he fumbled his only punt return Sunday against Baltimore. He’s averaged 9.5 yards on five punt returns and has rushed for 25 yards on eight carries. In the season opener, Hayne muffed a punt the Vikings recovered. With Hayne sidelined, wide receiver Bruce Ellington or Reggie Bush will return punts.

Inside linebacker Gerald Hodges is active for the first time since he was acquired in a trade Oct. 6. Tomsula has mentioned a desire to limit NaVorro Bowman’s snap count. Bowman is playing his second game in five days after he was sidelined in 2014 by a serious knee injury.

The 49ers’ other inactives: G Brandon Thomas, G Ian Silberman, NT Mike Purcell, TE Blake Bell, OLB Corey Lemonier and WR DeAndrew White.
