49ers injury updates immediately following loss to Packers

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates immediately following the 49ers’ loss at the Green Bay Packers.

Sunday was an afternoon to forget for San Francisco 49ers fans.

By the time it was all said and done, the 49ers had suffered their largest-ever loss to the Green Bay Packers in a frustrating 38-10 blowout loss at Lambeau Field.

Of course, San Francisco entered this Week 12 matchup minus starting quarterback Brock Purdy, offensive tackle Trent Williams and defensive end Nick Bosa.

During the course of the 49ers’ loss, the injury front went from bad to worse. The 49ers announced that defensive tackle Jordan Elliott had been ruled out with a concussion.

Per Matt Barrows of the Athletic, left guard Aaron Banks is now dealing with a suspected concussion as well.

Williams was listed as questionable with an ankle injury in the 49ers’ Friday injury report. After the loss, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan explained why they felt Williams wasn’t suited to go.

“It was close. We took it all the way up until now. I mean, all the way up until today, but he was hurting yesterday a little worse than last week at this time which made us nervous and didn’t wake up good today,” Shanahan said of Williams.

Shanahan said the team will monitor Purdy’s status early next week to see if a return from his right shoulder injury is a possibility for the 49ers in their Week 13 date at the Buffalo Bills.

“He’s been rehabbing the whole time here. I’m sure we’ll take him through some stuff early Monday or Tuesday and got a better idea then,” Shanahan said of Purdy.

San Francisco (5-6) will look to bounce back from its second two-game losing streak of the season when they kick off at Buffalo (9-2) on Dec. 1 at 5:20 p.m. PT for a primetime Sunday Night Football date on NBC.

49ers injury update: LT Trent Williams officially out vs. Packers

Trent Williams is out.

The San Francisco 49ers nightmare scenario for their Week 12 matchup with the Green Bay Packers was confirmed when inactives were announced 90 minutes before kickoff.

Left tackle Trent Williams, who was listed as questionable with an ankle injury after not practicing all week, will not suit up for the 49ers. That makes it so all three starters at perhaps the three most important positions on the field are inactive for San Francisco in a game they need to win just to keep their postseason hopes on life support.

Williams joins quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) on the list of players who won’t be in action Sunday for the 49ers. The All-Pro left tackle played through an ankle injury in Week 11, but he wasn’t able to get right in time to play Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Fourth-year swing tackle Jaylon Moore figures to start in his stead. Moore took all the first-team left tackle snaps in training camp when Williams was out. He also started the two games Williams missed last season.

Here is the full list of inactives:

QB Brock Purdy (shoulder)
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)
WR Jacob Cowing (concussion)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
CB Charvarius Ward (personal)
DT Khalil Davis

There aren’t any surprises in this group. It does mark the first time all season the 49ers won’t have an emergency third QB. That job belonged to QB Josh Dobbs, who will be elevated to the QB2 spot behind starter Brandon Allen.

Updates on 49ers injured stars not good as final Week 12 practice begins

The 49ers starting quarterback was not seen at the start of the final practice before Week 12 against the Packers.

Before traveling to Green Bay for their Week 12 game against the Packers, the San Francisco 49ers suited up for their final practice of the week on Friday afternoon.

To start practice, the 49ers were without a flurry of star players, including their starting signal caller. As practice began, quarterback Brock Purdy was not on the field. Purdy picked up a shoulder injury during the 49ers’ Week 11 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Via @eric_branch on Twitter:

Without Purdy, backup veteran passer Brandon Allen was under center for the 49ers at practice. Allen was in a competition over the offseason with fellow quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Allen last made a start in 2021 for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Adding to their already stacked injury report is Pro Bowl pass rusher Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) and All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) were also missing from the start of practice on Friday.

Following practice on Friday, the 49ers will make their trip to Green Bay for a potentially snowy Week 12 contest against the 7-3 Packers.

No news is bad news in 49ers Week 12 injury update

The 49ers practice report didn’t get much better Thursday.

The San Francisco 49ers continued their practice week without any major updates on the injury front.

Perhaps the best news is that running back Christian McCaffrey returned to action after getting a rest day Wednesday. He got limited sessions in to start the first two weeks after his return, so there was a small red flag that went up when he was listed as a non-participant for rest in Week 12. His return to a limited practice Thursday is a good sign that things will be business as usual Friday and he won’t be on the injury report.

The other change was a concerning one for rookie wide receiver Jacob Cowing. He was a limited participant Wednesday while working through concussion protocol. Then Thursday he was a non-participant, indicating he may have had a setback that puts his status in jeopardy for Sunday.

Here’s what the Thursday practice report looked like:

Did not participate

WR Jacob Cowing (concussion)
LB Tatum Bethune (knee)
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

No Bosa and no Williams is a pretty significant concern. Both players played through injuries in Week 11, which gives some hope they may be able to do the same in Week 12. However, Bosa is dealing with hip and oblique issues now after just being listed with a hip injury last week. He also pulled himself out of the 49ers’ most recent loss. Williams didn’t practice leading up to Week 11 which gives some optimism he may be able to do the same this week, but even a limited participation Friday would be a good sign.

Limited participation

RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, rest)
C Jon Feliciano (knee)
TE George Kittle (hamstring)
QB Brock Purdy (right shoulder)
CB Charvarius Ward (not injury related – personal matter)

Another limited workout for Purdy is certainly concerning. Kittle remains optimistic about his return for Week 12, and head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Ward’s return to practice doesn’t guarantee he’ll be able to suit up Sunday after his absence.

49ers 1st Week 12 practice report littered with injured stars

The 49ers practice report to open Week 12 is rough:

The San Francisco 49ers can’t seem to escape the injury bug in the 2024 season.

Their first practice participation report of Week 12 featured nine players either out or limited due to injury. Of those nine, five are starters who were either All-Pros or Pro Bowlers just last season.

Most teams by this point of the season have multiple players banged up and dealing with injuries, but for the 49ers it seems as though all of their most important players have dealt with injuries of varying degrees of severity at some point during the year.

With another huge game coming up and their playoff hopes potentially on the line, the 49ers need to hope their injury luck turns around quickly in the lead up to Sunday’s showdown with the Green Bay Packers.

Here’s Wednesday’s participation report:

Did not participate

LB Tatum Bethune (knee)
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, rest)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

Bethune sprained his MCL in Week 11 and figures to miss multiple weeks. Bosa played through his hip injury two weeks ago and now appears to have caused additional damage that puts his chances to play against the Packers in jeopardy. Givens was seen getting work in on a side field late last week, which gives some optimism of an eventual return. A non-participation for him isn’t a great sign for his chances to play this week. McCaffrey will likely be out or limited of every practice as part of the team’s management of his Achilles injury, while Williams is nursing an ankle issue he played through last week.

Limited participation

WR Jacob Cowing (concussion)
C Jon Feliciano (knee)
TE George Kittle (hamstring)
QB Brock Purdy (right shoulder)
CB Charvarius Ward (not injury related – personal matter)

Cowing sustained a concussion on a punt return last week. He’ll need to clear concussion protocol to suit up in Green Bay. Feliciano may be an answer for the 49ers on the offensive line, but he’s yet to be activated off IR. Kittle told reporters he’s confident he’ll play in Week 12, but they may still limit him during the week as a precaution. Purdy sustained a shoulder injury in Week 11 that will require some management during the week by San Francisco. That he was limited is a good sign. Ward was also back on the practice field after time away from the team to work through a personal tragedy.

49ers injury update: George Kittle inactive vs. Seahawks

No George Kittle for the 49ers today.

The San Francisco 49ers have officially ruled out tight end George Kittle for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in Week 10 that head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t seem concerned about when he spoke with media Monday. Shanahan said Kittle would miss Wednesday’s practice as part of the management of that injury. Kittle returned to action Thursday and Friday, but isn’t able to play Sunday.

His absence will be welcome news for the Seahawks after he got them for a pair of touchdowns in the 49ers’ win over Seattle back in Week 6.

Here are the 49ers Week 11 inactives:

QB Josh Dobbs (QB3)
CB Charvarius Ward (Personal)
TE George Kittle (hamstring)
DL Kevin Givens (groin)
OL Ben Bartch
DL Khalil Davis
WR Ronnie Bell

Not among the inactives are defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams. Bosa is working through a hip injury, while Williams missed the entire week of practice because of an ankle issue.

Bosa told reporters his hip injury bothered him a lot in the team’s Week 10 victory in Tampa Bay. He had a light week of practice that allowed him to be ready for Sunday. Don’t be surprised if he winds up on a shorter rotation than normal while he manages his injury.

49ers vs. Seahawks injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 11

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 11 game vs. Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers need a win in Week 11 over the Seattle Seahawks. Their injury situation may make it a significant uphill climb to a victory.

With the Arizona Cardinals on a Bye, the 49ers could finish Week 11 in a tie for first place in the NFC. They’ll be in second because of head-to-head tiebreakers, but they’ll also be just a half game out of the No. 7 seed in the NFC. San Francisco needs to start stacking some wins against NFC and NFC West opponents to give themselves a little breathing room in their hunt for a postseason berth.

Seattle, on the other hand, is trying to climb out of the NFC West basement after their Bye. A loss puts them further behind the curve to compete in the NFC West. A win puts them in position to fight for the division crown.

There’s a ton at stake in Sunday’s game, and the 49ers may be missing some key players. Here’s what their Week 11 injury report looks like:

49ers injury report

Out
CB Charvarius Ward (personal)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
P Mitch Wishnowsky (back)

Doubtful
CB Darrell Luter Jr. (pelvis)

Questionable
TE George Kittle (hamstring)
DE Nick Bosa (hip)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)
DL Yetur Gross-Matos (knee)
C Jon Feliciano (knee)
LG Aaron Banks (thigh)

CB Charvarius Ward injury update

Ward remains out to deal with a personal matter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan intimated Ward could be nearing a return, but the team won’t put a date on when he comes back due to the nature of his absence.

DT Kevin Givens injury update

Givens was seen working on a side field Friday according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. That’s a good sign for the 49ers’ DT who has become an integral part of their defensive line rotation.

P Mitch Wishnowsky injury update

A back injury cropped up for Wishnowsky during training camp and flared up in Week 10. He may be out significant time to get his back right. The 49ers signed P Pat O’Donnell to their practice squad as a potential replacement if Wishnowsky is out long-term. Shanahan told reporters the team plans on placing Wishnowsky on IR.

CB Darrell Luter Jr. injury update

Luter showed up on Friday’s participation report with a pelvis injury. It’s unclear when he sustained the injury, but he didn’t participate Friday.

TE George Kittle injury update

A hamstring injury cropped up for Kittle after Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shanahan indicated early in the week he was optimistic Kittle would be available Sunday. He missed Wednesday’s practice, but returned for Thursday and Friday’s sessions.

DE Nick Bosa injury update

Bosa played through a hip injury in Week 10, and told reporters after Wednesday’s practice he would rest during the week to try and get ready for Sunday. He wound up returning Friday for a limited practice. Shanahan seemed optimistic about Bosa’s chances, but he’ll be a game time decision.

LT Trent Williams injury update

An ankle injury accompanied Williams’s usual veteran rest day Wednesday. He was out of Thursday’s practice as well, putting a significant question mark over his status for Sunday.

DL Yetur Gross-Matos injury update

The 49ers haven’t activated Gross-Matos off IR after opening his practice window before Week 10. Here’s in line to turn this week and provide a significant boost to the 49ers’ defensive line.

C Jon Feliciano injury update

Feliciano is in the same boat as Gross-Matos as someone with their practice window opened. It sounds like the 49ers may be awaiting a chance to open a roster spot before bringing him back.

LG Aaron Banks injury update

This is a new one. Banks didn’t appear on either Wednesday or Thursday practice reports, and then landed as questionable with a thigh issue after a limited practice Friday. His status may determine whether Feliciano is activated.

New 49ers Week 11 practice report features more bad news than good

Woof … Thursday’s practice report isn’t great.

The San Francisco 49ers are teetering on the brink of potential disaster on the injury front as they prepare for their Week 11 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.

Thursday’s practice participation report was even more crowded than Wednesday’s, and it featured more bad news than good.

The good news is that tight end George Kittle returned to action after missing Wednesday’s session. He was limited Thursday, as anticipated by head coach Kyle Shanahan who told reporters he wasn’t too worried about Kittle’s status for Sunday.

In some less-than-good news, left tackle Trent Williams was absent again with an ankle issue. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings also showed up as a limited participant with an ankle injury.

Williams was classified as a non-participant for rest Wednesday, but he also had an ankle injury listed. That ankle kept him out of another practice Thursday, putting his status for Sunday in doubt. If he can’t go, Jaylon Moore would be next in line to step in at left tackle. This will be worth monitoring closely.

Jennings wasn’t on the Wednesday report which makes his appearance Thursday even more concerning. It’s unclear the severity of the issue and when he sustained the injury. Shanahan will speak with reporters Friday and give a better idea of what the 49ers’ leading wide receiver is dealing with.

Defensive end Nick Bosa remained out of practice with a hip injury. He intimated to reporters Wednesday that he’d likely miss the entire week in hopes of getting ready to play Sunday. He’s also a question mark for Sunday in a key matchup with the Seahawks.

Here’s the full Thursday participation report:

Did not participate

DE Nick Bosa (hip)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)
P Mitch Wishnowsky (back)
CB Charvarius Ward (not injury related – personal matter)

Limited participation

TE George Kittle (hamstring)
WR Chris Conley (back)
C Jon Feliciano (knee)
WR Jauan Jennings (ankle)
RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles)

Full participation

CB Renardo Green (toe)
DE Yetur Gross-Matos (knee)

49ers star receives hefty fine for penalty vs. Chiefs

Trent Williams’ punch got him ejected and fined a hefty amount.

The final nail in the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 7 coffin was the ejection of left tackle Trent Williams.

Williams was penalized 15 yards and ejected near the end of the 49ers’ 28-18 loss to the Chiefs for punching Kansas City defensive back Bryan Cook. The NFL has fined Williams $11,817 for his action, per NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.

Cook actually swung and hit Williams first while Williams was getting up after a play, but the officials only saw Williams’ reactionary punch. The NFL also fined Cook $8,442.64.

It was a clear sign of the frustration San Francisco was feeling in their fifth loss to Kansas City since the 2018 season. The Chiefs mostly dominated the game and held San Francisco to a season-worst 310 yards of total offense. It was also a sign that the 49ers weren’t dictating the game’s physicality and getting under an opponent’s skin the way we’ve seen them do in the past.

Williams also played his worst game of the year. Pro Football Focus gave him a below-average 55.4 overall grade. He didn’t allow a pressure, but he was hit with a pair of penalties, including the personal foul that got him ejected.

The punch from Williams was understandable given the circumstances, but ideally the team’s veteran leader won’t succumb to that kind of bait from an opponent in the future.

Mixed injury news for 49ers on updated Week 4 practice report

Deebo Samuel’s return headlined a ton of injury news for the 49ers from Thursday’s practice.

The San Francisco 49ers’ practice report from Thursday came with a mixed bag of injury news.

On the good side, wide receiver Deebo Samuel was back in action while recovering from a calf strain he suffered in Week 3. Linebacker Dee Winters was back as well after sitting out Wednesday’s session because of an ankle issue. Left tackle Trent Williams also participated after missing Wednesday with an illness.

On the bad side, two players were carted off during Thursday’s session according to the Bay Area News Group’s Cam Inman. in Santa Clara. Defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and linebacker Curtis Robinson both exited the session. Elliott was listed as limited with an ankle injury, while Robinson was limited with a knee injury. The extent of their ailments is unknown.

Here’s the full practice report from Thursday:

Did not participate

WR Jacob Cowing (illness)
DT Javon Hargrave (triceps)

It wouldn’t be ideal if there was an illness running through the 49ers’ locker room. Cowing is also not going to rise up the wide receiver depth chart any faster by missing a practice.

Limited participation

DT Jordan Elliott (foot)
TE George Kittle (hamstring)
LB Curtis Robinson (knee)
WR Deebo Samuel (calf)
LB Dee Winters (ankle)

Head coach Kyle Shanahan will speak with reporters Friday and should have more details on the extent of Elliott and Robinson’s injuries. Samuel and Winters returning after their absences Wednesday could give them a chance to play Sunday. George Kittle also participated for a second day in a row. Friday’s injury report will tell us their official statuses.

Full participation

QB Brock Purdy (back)
LT Trent Williams (illness)

No setbacks for Purdy and Williams’s illness didn’t knock him out for more than one practice. Good signs here.
