The San Francisco 49ers are in their bye week, which means players get a chance to recover from the many bumps, bruises, sprains, and other injuries that have accumulated over the course of the season. Plenty of players will not be at 100 percent after the bye, but this is an important opportunity for recovery.
When the 49ers return to practice next week, two notable names could be available for Sunday’s game. Tank Carradine has been practicing for two weeks, and is expected to be activated off injured reserve for Week 12. Solomon Thomas missed two games with an MCL sprain, but got back to practice last week.
