Kyle Shanahan on Monday expanded on some of the postgame injury updates from Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.
While a list of seven players dealing with ailments from the game isn’t necessarily good news, it sounds like the 49ers at least for now avoided any long-term injuries.
Shanahan was also optimistic about the possible returns of DE Nick Bosa and LT Trent Williams. He hinted Sunday that they could be back for Week 7, and he indicated Monday in a conference call with reporters that both had a better chance to go in Week 7 than they did in Week 6.
“A lot better than last week,” Shanahan said of their chances to play Sunday. “I’m really hoping for it and I think there’s a decent chance.”
He was less bullish on DT Arik Armstead coming back for the Chiefs game.
“Yeah, it’s a huge loss for us right now. Same with [DT] Javon [Kinlaw] and not having him in there either,” Shanahan said. “I’d be very surprised if he’s back this week, but hopefully he’ll have a chance. Maybe L.A., if not, hopefully then we’ll have Bye Week, which gives him another week and hopefully we’ll get him back by then, but we’re still not sure right now.”
