The San Francisco 49ers released their first practice participation report of the week, and Quinton Dial is back on it with another injury. Dial has been dealing with knee and neck issues, but on the Wednesday report, he did not participate due to an elbow injury. Dial went down in the team’s Week 13 loss to the Chicago Bears, and my guess is this is related to that injury.
Dial sat out the team’s Week 12 game, and Chris Jones moved into the starting lineup in his place. Although Dial was back last week, Jones remained one of the team’s 3-4 defensive end starters.
