No practice today, but Thursday opponents are required to file an estimated report on Monday. Injuries to Beal, Jennings (ribs), McKivitz, Pearsall (knee/PCL), Williams (oblique) and Winters occurred Sunday.

Kyle Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall still must get his knee checked out but that the initial suspicion is that it's a "minor" PCL injury. His and Jauan Jennings' status for Thursday is up in the air.

Practice makes perfect and, well, Brock Purdy simply hasn’t practiced a lot with his receivers. And it showed … www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

Brock Purdy, 49ers receivers out of sync, injuries finally take toll in loss to Jaguars www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

As expected, Darrell Luter Jr. is lining up at one of the starting CB spots in pre-game warmups. This will be his first-ever start.

Unlike last week, the pre-game cloud cover is supposed to hold firm today. Kickoff temp will be in the low 70s with a moderate breeze.

The 49ers elevated CB Eli Apple from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. CB Renardo Green (neck) did not practice on Friday. SF's CBs could be: Deommodore Lenoir Darrell Luter Jr. Upton Stout Chase Lucas Eli Apple

Nick Bosa has a knee injury. It’s not an ACL tear, Kyle Shanahan said, but the team has no definitive diagnosis yet. He’ll get more tests tomorrow.

Mykel Williams (wrist) is questionable to return

Now it's Mykel Williams going to the locker room. Williams was shaken up on Kyler Murray's third-down scramble (to his side) in the first quarter. He was checked out by trainers but returned to the game.
