49ers open Week 16 practice with 3 players missing, 5 limited

The San Francisco 49ers had a busy practice report to open Week 16 preparations for the Miami Dolphins.

With the postseason virtually out of reach, the San Francisco 49ers can start turning an eye toward the 2025 season. However, it doesn’t appear the 49ers are aiming to start shutting things down with three games to go.

San Francisco’s practice participation report from Wednesday featured a trio of players missing, including left tackle Trent Williams and running back Isaac Guerendo. Williams is still working through an ankle issue. Guerendo had a hamstring injury crop up during the team’s Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Beyond that, players like defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw were still participating in practice on a limited basis despite playing through injury issues of their own.

Bosa has been dealing with hip and oblique problems since Week 10, and they cost him three games before his return against the Rams. Greenlaw made his season debut in Week 15 after recovering from a torn Achilles. He left the game with what head coach Kyle Shanahan classified as fatigue and soreness. That both players were in practice to begin the week is a good sign for their chances to suit up Sunday in Miami.

49ers update injury report day after loss vs. Rams

Kyle Shanahan provided next-day injury updates on linebackers Dee Winters and Dre Greenlaw and safety Ji’Ayir Brown.

The San Francisco 49ers (6-8) fell on Thursday night against NFC West rival Los Angeles, 12-6.

Along the way, linebackers Dee Winters and Dre Greenlaw and safety Ji’Ayir Brown exited with injuries.

On Friday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan updated that trio’s status on a conference call with reporters.

“Alright guys, injuries from the game. Ji’Ayir Brown had a groin, checked out pretty good, though. He’ll be day-to-day. Dee Winters, same thing with his neck. He’ll be day-to-day also. Greenlaw with his Achilles, knee, checked out good, so he’s just dealing with some soreness. He should be good going forward. He’ll be day-to-day. And that’s it from the game,” Shanahan said.

It’s good news across the board for the 49ers with Brown, Winters and Greenlaw.

Another welcome sight was defensive end Nick Bosa remaining healthy and off the latest injury report. Bosa had missed three games with hip and oblique injuries before returning and playing 47 snaps against the Rams.

“Yeah, no report of anything today, so it was awesome to get Nick back and he really helped us. It was a good sign that they didn’t tell me about anything today,” Shanahan said of Bosa.

The 49ers also updated the status of left tackle Trent Williams.

“He’s trying to get back. This has been a frustrating injury for him. It hasn’t healed like he or we would like. Hopefully, having these 10 more days before our next game, hopefully that gives a better chance.

“Trent’s doing everything he can to get back, but he is injured. With the injury, there is a chance he will get back, but it has to start recovering and it’s been a lot slower than anticipated,” Shanahan said.

Williams has missed four consecutive games with his ankle injury.

The 49ers close their 2024 season with games at Miami on Dec. 22, versus Detroit on Dec. 30 and at Arizona on Jan. 5.

49ers vs Rams injury report: Latest update, news on Isaac Guerendo for Week 15

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 15 game vs. the Rams.

The San Francisco 49ers’ Week 15 injury report inspired a little bit of optimism on the health front as they enter a virtual must-win matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Running back Isaac Guerendo returned to practice after being listed as a non-participant Monday and Tuesday because of a foot injury. He was limited and is officially questionable, but that’s a better sign than if he missed the session entirely.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan early in the week indicated there was some hope Guerendo would be ready for Thursday. There was no media availability Wednesday so it’s unclear how much progress Guerendo made during the week.

Other good news featured the return of defensive end Nick Bosa. He was limited and is listed as questionable after missing the last three games with hip and oblique injuries.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw was also a full participant for the first time since having his 21-day practice window opened. He missed the last two games and was limited Monday and Tuesday. A full practice and ‘questionable’ designation mean he could make his return Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium.

49ers injury report

Out

OL Ben Bartch (ankle)
S Malik Mustapha (shoulder)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

Mustapha was downgraded to a non-participant Wednesday. Ji’Ayir Brown figures to get the start alongside Talanoa Hufanga.

Questionable

DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
DT Khalil Davis (knee)
LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles)
RB Isaac Guerendo (foot)

It would be a massive lift and some awesome injury news if Bosa, Greenlaw and Guerendo all play Thursday.

49ers OL suffers another big blow after starter ruled out

San Francisco was dealt another blow up front as one of its offensive line starters was ruled out vs. the Chicago Bears.

The San Francisco 49ers‘ injury concerns up front continued on Sunday during the team’s Week 14 date against the Chicago Bears (4-8).

Thrust into a starting role, left guard Ben Bartch exited San Francisco’s contest on Sunday midway through the first quarter with an ankle injury.

After initially being listed as questionable to return, Bartch was officially ruled out by the 49ers. Bartch stepped in for left guard Aaron Banks who remained sidelined with a concussion.

Bartch was replaced by Spencer Burford. The third-year pro served as the 49ers’ starting right guard over each of the past two seasons.

In addition to Banks and Bartch being sidelined, longtime star left tackle Trent Williams missed his third straight game with a left ankle injury of his own.

Minus its two starting cogs on the left side of its offensive line and its starting left guard today, the San Francisco 49ers still managed to put together an explosive first half against the Bears.

San Francisco (5-7) racked up 319 yards of total offense, 254 passing yards, 14 first downs and averaged 8.6 yards per play in the first half against the Bears.

The 49ers led 24-0 at halftime and are seeking to snap a current three-game losing streak.

49ers starting LG leaves game vs. Bears in 1st quarter

The 49ers’ starting left guard exited San Francisco’s Sunday battle against the Chicago Bears.

The San Francisco 49ers’ injury concerns on the left side of its offensive line continued early on during Sunday’s contest against Chicago.

Thrust into the lineup as the 49ers’ starting left guard, fifth-year pro Ben Bartch exited San Francisco’s Sunday date against Chicago with an ankle injury. Bartch was taken straight into the blue tent for further examination.

ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reported that Bartch is questionable to return.

Bartch had been inserted into the lineup as the 49ers’ starting left guard because fourth-year offensive guard Aaron Banks continues to recover from a concussion.

Spencer Burford replaced Bartch at left guard. Burford was San Francisco’s starting right guard each of the past two seasons.

Bartch exited with San Francisco (5-7) in possession of an early 7-0 lead over Chicago (4-8).

San Francisco capped its opening drive of the contest with a 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Brock Purdy to wide receiver Jauan Jennings. That was the finishing touches on a 5-play, 70-yard touchdown drive.

49ers Week 14 injury report bad news for 2 of team’s most important players

The injuries persist.

The San Francisco 49ers can’t get out from under the injury woes that have played a key role in their disappointing 2024 campaign.

Their slim playoff hopes nearly require them to win in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, but they’ll likely once again be without defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams.

Bosa is listed as doubtful on the 49ers Week 14 injury report because of hip and oblique injuries. Williams has officially been ruled out because of an ankle issue.

That duo has missed the 49ers last two games, which San Francisco has lost by a combined score of 73-20.

With running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave already on IR, the 49ers once star studded roster is looking much more ordinary heading into Sunday’s virtual must-win game vs. Chicago.

Here’s the full injury report:

Out

LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles)
S George Odum (knee)
RB Jordan Mason (ankle)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

It sounds like Mason is headed to IR with a high ankle sprain. Odum showed up as a non-participant on Thursday’s practice report and it’s not a great sign he was ruled out. Greenlaw could return for the 49ers on Thursday Night Football vs  the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15 per head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Doubtful

DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)

Questionable

LG Aaron Banks (concussion)
LB Demetrius Flanagan-Fowles (knee)
S Talanoa Hufanga (wrist)

Hufanga hasn’t been activated off IR. That will be a necessary roster move if the 49ers plan on playing him vs. Chicago.

49ers updates on 12 injured players leading up to Week 13 vs Bills

The 49ers have revealed their latest injury report from Wednesday’s practice before their Sunday Night Football tilt against the Buffalo Bills.

After dropping two straight games and falling to 5-6 on the season, the San Francisco 49ers will now prepare for a contest against one of the top teams in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills.

Before traveling to Orchard Park for Sunday Night Football in Week 13, Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers revealed the latest injury report from practice on Wednesday, including the status for injured starting quarterback Brock Purdy.

QB – Brock Purdy – Right Shoulder

According to different reports from practice, Purdy only threw the ball one time during practice on Wednesday but did do his standard work in the run game, handing the ball off.

What to make of Christian McCaffrey’s absence from 49ers practice

Christian McCaffrey wasn’t in practice Wednesday, but there’s no real cause for concern.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey sat out the team’s practice Wednesday in the lead up to a Week 12 showdown with the Green Bay Packers.

This is a slight departure from McCaffrey’s routine during his first two weeks back with the club after a nine-week absence due to Achilles tendinitis. During those first two weeks he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday before getting a full practice in Friday.

Wednesday of Week 12 was a little different. The 49ers listed McCaffrey as a non-participant. His Achilles injury is still listed, but they also specified that his absence was for rest and was not injury related.

It makes sense that the team would rest McCaffrey given his workload in a Week 11 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He played 59 snaps and notched 19 carries along with four receptions. The 23 touches were four more than his 19 the week prior.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated the team plans to continue utilizing McCaffrey as much as possible in games, so an additional day off during the week would behoove a team trying to manage an Achilles issue for its superstar running back.

Chances are McCaffrey is back Thursday and ready to suit up Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

If he isn’t back Thursday, there may be a bigger issue. For now, his absence is simply a rest day.

15 players on 49ers 1st practice report after Bye week

49ers practice report is BUSY:

The San Francisco 49ers came out of their Bye week expecting to get some players back from injuries.

An early practice participation report doesn’t give a clear picture of what an injury situation will look like on game day, but it was jarring to see the 49ers’ practice report from Wednesday’s practice.

The report featured 15 names, including two players not practicing due to injury and eight others limited for injury reasons. Left tackle Trent Williams was a non-participant for his usual veteran rest day. Cornerback Charvarius Ward was out for personal reasons.

This stage of the week doesn’t offer much info in regards to a player’s availability for Sunday, but it’ll be worth keeping a close eye on these injuries moving forward.

Here’s what Wednesday’s practice report looked like:

Did not participate

WR Chris Conley (hamstring)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
CB Charvarius Ward (not injury related – personal matter)
LT Trent Williams (not injury related – resting player)

Conley suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8 and is considered week-to-week. Givens missed Week 8 with his groin issue. It’s unclear when Ward will return following the death of his one-year-old daughter, but he’ll surely be given whatever amount of time he needs.

Limited participation

DE Nick Bosa (hip)
OL Jon Feliciano (knee)
DL Yetur Gross-Matos (knee)
WR Jauan Jennings (hip)
RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles)
K Jake Moody (ankle)
WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique)
P Mitch Wishnowsky (back)

Yikes! Chances are most of these limited practices are just precautionary. Bosa wasn’t listed by head coach Kyle Shanahan on the pre-practice participation report, so it’s unclear if he was banged up during practice. That’ll be worth keeping a close eye on throughout the week.

Full participation

CB Renardo Green (ankle)
RB Jordan Mason (shoulder)
LB Dee Winters (concussion)

Good signs here. Mason has been dealing with a shoulder injury since Week 6 and re-aggravated that issue in Week 8. Green got hurt on the final play of the team’s Week 8 game. Winters suffered a concussion in that same contest.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel hospitalized by illness

The 49ers star WR played three plays against the Chiefs on Sunday before being ruled out for the remainder of game due to an illness.

After playing only three plays against the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers ruled out star playmaker Deebo Samuel for the remainder of the game due to an illness.

Following the game, Samuel’s illness reacquired a trip to the hospital. On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Samuel was hospitalized with a “pneumonia-like” illness. As of Monday, Samuel is still in the hospital.

“He went in last night,” Shanahan said  “I think it started acting up in the middle of the night Saturday night or early Sunday morning. And then it just kind of evolved as the day went. So once we found out he had the fluid in his lungs and stuff after the game, then I believe they sent him over there. I’m not sure the timeline of it, but I just found out that’s where he was Sunday night when I was at home.”

Shanahan told reporters he was unsure if Samuel would be able to return for the 49ers’ Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Santa Clara.

With Brandon Aiyuk already ruled out for the season and Jauan Jennings also dealing with an injury, the 49ers could lean heavily on their rookie pass-catching duo of Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing. Veteran Chris Conley and second-year wide receiver Ronnie Bell could also see an increased role in the passing game against the Cowboys.
