The 49ers rested four veterans Wednesday, and three were full a day later
Nick Bosa was the fourth, and he was limited Thursday. Eddy Piñeiro has now missed two practices with an illness, and the club's roster page carries one kicker. Kaelon Black is new on the report with a groin.
San Francisco rested four veterans at Wednesday's practice. Three of them were full participants a day later.
Nick Bosa, Dre Greenlaw, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams all appear on the club's first official Week 2 injury report as non-participants, and all four carry the designation "Not injury related - resting player." The report was read off 49ers.com at 2:50 p.m. Pacific Thursday. On Thursday's participation report, which the club's communications staff distributed and David Bonilla of 49ers Webzone published at 2:45 p.m. Pacific, Greenlaw, McCaffrey and Williams were full and Bosa was limited.
Bosa did not go full. He carries a knee alongside the rest designation on both days, which McCaffrey and Williams do not. He played 36 of San Francisco's 61 defensive snaps in Melbourne, 59 percent, off the Playtime Percentage pages of the official game book. Greenlaw played 40 of 61, and his row carries an Achilles on both days the same way Bosa's carries a knee.
Two men have not practised at all this week. Eddy Piñeiro is ill. De'Zhaun Stribling has an ankle.
Piñeiro is the kicker, and he is the only one in the building. The club's roster page at 2:50 p.m. Pacific Thursday listed one kicker on the active roster and none on the 15-man practice squad it displays. He handled 12 of San Francisco's 20 special-teams snaps against the Rams, 60 percent. The game status column on all eleven Wednesday rows reads Unspecified. Piñeiro's is the row to read on Friday.
Stribling was still on the club's Active table Thursday afternoon, a second straight day. Shanahan said Wednesday that San Francisco would place the rookie receiver on injured reserve later this week, after surgery that will keep him out close to ten weeks. The club's transaction log carried nothing under 09/17 when it was read at 2:50 p.m. Pacific, and its newest entry was still the three-move 09/16 transaction that promoted KhaDarel Hodge, signed tight end Jack Stoll to the practice squad and put Jake Tonges on injured reserve. A statement of intent is not a filing.
Kaelon Black is the one new name. He was not on Wednesday's report at all and was limited Thursday with a groin. Black played 28 of the 65 offensive snaps in Melbourne, 43 percent, the second-most among San Francisco's running backs, behind McCaffrey's 36. The club listed him with an adductor injury in August and he missed practices from Day 6 of training camp until Day 14, on August 18, when he returned in full pads for the joint practice with the Chargers.
Four men were limited Wednesday and three of them were limited again Thursday. Kyle Juszczyk has a finger. George Kittle has an Achilles. Keion White has a back. Juszczyk and Kittle have been on every injury report the club has filed this season; White is new to it this week. All three played against the Rams: Juszczyk 33 offensive snaps, Kittle 30, White 30 on defense. Khalid Kareem, limited Wednesday with a shoulder, went full Thursday. Upton Stout has practised in full on every reported day with an Achilles beside his name.
Twelve San Francisco names appear on Thursday's report against Wednesday's eleven. Nobody dropped off. Every one of the twelve played in Melbourne.
The Week 1 report was the same length and a different shape. Eleven 49ers were on it, against a Thursday game, with columns for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday rather than the Wednesday through Friday a Sunday game gets. Not one of the eleven carried a rest designation. Five of those names are on this week's report: Bosa, Greenlaw, Juszczyk, Kittle and Stout. Of the six who came off it, five are on the active roster with nothing filed against them, and the sixth is Alfred Collins, who went on injured reserve the day of the game.
The Rams rested four men for that game and San Francisco rested none. Both teams had flown to Australia.
Miami filed six names Wednesday. Linebacker Ronnie Harrison, hamstring, did not practise. Long snapper Tucker Addington, shoulder, linebacker Chop Robinson, concussion, and tight end Seydou Traore, thumb and Achilles, were limited. Safety Dante Trader Jr., hamstring, and quarterback Malik Willis, toe, were full. The Dolphins' Thursday column had not posted when their report was read Thursday afternoon.
San Francisco holds four full practices this week. The last is Friday at 12:35 p.m. Pacific, with Shanahan speaking afterward, and the final injury report of the week carries the game designations that Wednesday's and Thursday's do not. Miami kicks off at Levi's Stadium at 1:25 p.m. Pacific Sunday.
Brock Purdy is not on the report.
