Lower back spasms that originally flared up during the week will keep King Dunlap out of today's showdown against the Washington Redskins as the presumptive left tackle is among the team's list of inactives. Dunlap tried to get loose before the game, but was not deemed well enough to play.
Dunlap, of course, is the backup left tackle behind Jason Peters, who is out with a hamstring injury. With Dunlap also out, Todd Herremans will get the start at left tackle after playing the first five games of the season at right tackle. Winston Justice, who started 29 games at right tackle since 2009, will get his first start of the season at right tackle.
In addition to Dunlap and Peters, defense end Trent Cole (calf injury), cornerback Curtis Marsh, linebacker Keenan Clayton, offensive lineman Julian Vandervelde and safety Jarrad Page round out the inactives.
Kurt Coleman will start at safety, where Page had started the first five games this season.
