49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media ahead of Wednesday’s practice to provide an injury update. The following players won’t practice today:
Did not participate:
Maurice Hurst (calf)
JaMychal Hasty (ankle)
Trent Williams (vet day)
Limited:
Josh Norman (rib)
Jaylon Moore (knee)
Deebo Samuel (shin)
Elijah Mitchell (finger)
Shanahan said, “I think he’ll go Sunday,” when speaking about Mitchell, who had surgery on his finger Tuesday. That’s great news for the 49ers.
When asked why Trey Sermon doesn’t play, Shanahan said he took advantage of his opportunities when he got a chance to play, but “he didn’t do enough for us to put him ahead of Elijah or Jeff,” and “you don’t want to put a rookie in as a third-down back.
