Predicting the Inactives for the game against San Francisco

I'll post the entire roster here and underline and bold those I believe will be inactive.  The Packers can only activate 46 of the 53 on the roster.

Quarterback (2)
Aaron Rodgers
Seneca Wallace

Running Backs (4)
Lacy
Franklin
Kuhn
Starks

Wide Receivers (5)
Nelson
Cobb
Jones
Boykin
Ross

Tight Ends (4)
Finley
R. Taylor
Quarless
Bostick

Offensive Linemen (8)
Bahktiari
Sitton
Dietrich-Smith
Lang
Barclay
Newhouse
Van Roten
L. Taylor

Defensive Line (8)
D. Jones
Raji
Pickett
Jolly
Wilson
Daniels
Neal
Boyd

Outside Linebackers (4)
Mathews
Perry
Mulumba
Palmer

Inside Linebackers (5)
B. Jones
Hawk
Francois
Barrington
Lattimore

Cornerback (6)
Williams
Shields
Hayward
House
Hyde
Bush

Safety (4)
Burnett
McMillian
Jennings
Banjo

Specialists (3)
Crosby
Masthay
Goode

The Packers haven't played a questionable player in a long time and Burnett and Jones are both listed as questionable.  Both have hamstring injuries.  Expect Francois and McMillian to fill in for the two starters.  Hayward has already been listed as out since early in the week.  All three may be back next week.  As important as week 1 is, there are 16 games in the season and all three players will be needed this season.  I gave Mulumba the nod over Palmer because I believe he's more disruptive but special teams could factor into that decision.  Boyd is the odd man out on the defensive line, and Neal is a back up at outside linebacker as well as defensive line.  Bostick is not ready to contribute yet, and Franklin plays better special teams than Bostick does, so Franklin stays on the active list.  Lane Taylor will likely be inactive all 16 games barring injury.
