The San Francisco 49ers have a busy, and unique, few days ahead.
Coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch have to plan for the future regarding a few notable veterans while balancing injuries during a short week before the next game.
San Francisco (1-7) is home Thursday to play the Oakland Raiders (1-6) after losing a road game to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The 49ers play their Bay Area rivals two days after the NFL trade deadline Tuesday at 1 p.m.
“(We) would love to be totally locked into this trade deadline, which we will be, but also got to find out who’s possible of playing here in a few days,” Shanahan said in a conference call Monday.
