The 49ers practiced Friday but were once again without a few key cogs. According to the reporters on hand, Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel were not on hand. Running back Christian McCaffrey was working with the training staff on the side, working on leg exercises.
The good news is that linebacker Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) and left guard Aaron Banks (ankle) practiced Thursday.
Per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, McCaffrey asked head coach Kyle Shanahan to not take anything out of the game plan and to prepare as if McCaffrey was playing, even if CMC didn’t practice during the week.
