During Thursday night’s game, where the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 36-24, injuries unfortunately continued to appear to add more names to San Francisco’s injured list. This Friday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan held his usual press conference the next day after each game to add more information about the injuries that occurred during the game in question. In the game against Seattle there were three players who suffered injuries.
“Game injuries: Safety Malik Mustapha has a lower ankle injury, he’ll be day to day this week, kicker Matthew Wright suffered a shoulder injury, we’re waiting on his MRI. He dislocated it, or it came out little, but we have to make sure. He was relocated, but we need to get more information about him when we get his MRI result. And running back Jordan Mason, he suffered a shoulder injury, it’s a sprain of the acromioclavicular joint, he will be out day. this week,” Shanahan reported.
With all this that the San Francisco coach mentioned to us, it seems that Mason and Mustapha would not miss much time because according to Shanahan they are “day to day” with their respective injuries. While with Wright it is another story and even Shanahan added that he is worried that he may not be available for the next game, although he clarifies that we still have to wait.
“We’re not sure. We know he’ll have a chance, but we’re not completely sure until we get the results of his MRI,” the coach explained.
Pearsall Internship Window
Regarding wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, Shanahan said they plan to open their practice window for him. He is on the NFI (non-football injury) list.
“Ricky, yes we’re planning on opening your window for you this week,” Shanahan said.
The coach even adds that he expects Pearsall to practice on Monday and gave more information about other players the team has injured.
“I think Monday. With all the guys that, I’ll mention them. Defensive lineman Jordan Elliott, with his knee injury, continues to rehab, we will evaluate him early this week, linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, with his calf injury, we hope that return to practice, cornerback Charvarius Ward due to his knee injury, this day to day, kicker Jake Moody due to his high ankle sprain, he is still expected to miss several weeks, and Pearsall, we will open his practice window” Shanahan pointed out.
Shanahan was asked if Pearsall would be ready to play in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The coach commented that they are not going to rush him and will first have to observe how he performs in practice when they open his training window.
“Most likely, I would think it’s going to take a longer period of increased practice intensity for Pearsall. But as far as health and all that, he’s totally ready. But I don’t really decide those things until we start seeing it.” practice. We’re not going to rush him or anything like that. If he’s ready, he’ll be ready. And if he’s not, we have several weeks,” Shanahan explained.
McCaffrey report
Regarding his star running back, Christian McCaffrey, who is still unable to play this season due to his Achilles tendinitis problem, Shanahan said that they will not open his practice window yet.
“No. He continues to improve, but we will not open his window for him this week,” the coach mentioned.
Speaking of running backs, after Mason’s injury, running backs Isaac Guerendo and Patrick Taylor Jr. had to step up to help the team against Seattle. Shanahan said he was happy with what he saw from them in the game against the Seahawks.
“I think they both did a really good job. They both came in, we didn’t really lose rhythm. They kept all the rhythm that the offense was in. They took the right spots, they ran hard and generated some plays for us. They were prepared and didn’t hesitate when They got their opportunities,” Shanahan said.
Bosa Impact
49ers star defensive lineman Nick Bosa had a great game against the Seahawks even though his great effort was not fully reflected in the statistics. Shanahan was delighted with what he saw from Bosa in Seattle.
“I totally agree. Statistics can sometimes say a lot and sometimes they can say absolutely nothing. And I think this is one of those cases because when I got on the plane and started watching the video, he was in all of them. parts, affecting the quarterback, closing the edge, getting involved in tackles. I think he had a tremendous game and I also think that the entire defensive line played really well as a group,” Shanahan concluded.
