49ers face key injuries ahead of upcoming game

Why it matters: The 49ers will be without several key players, including left tackle Trent Williams and safety Malik Mustapha, for their upcoming game.

  • Their absence could significantly impact the team's performance on both offense and defense.

What's new: Left tackle Trent Williams, safety Malik Mustapha, and guard Ben Bartch will be unavailable for the upcoming game.

Yes, but: The potential return of Dre Greenlaw and Nick Bosa could provide a boost to the 49ers' defense if they are able to play.

  • However, their availability will depend on how they perform in practice leading up to the game.

What to watch: Pay attention to the updates on Dre Greenlaw's condition and his progress in practice throughout the week.

  • Isaac Guerendo's ability to play despite his foot injury is also worth monitoring.

Quotes:

  • Kyle Shanahan on Dre Greenlaw's potential return: "We'll see when he gets in here tomorrow, how he's feeling, how practice goes Tuesday and Wednesday and make our decision then."
  • Isaac Guerendo on his injury: "Everything is fine. They're just being cautious. We have a quick turnaround this week, so we're just making sure that we're good to go."

The bottom line: The 49ers will have to adjust their game plan and rely on other players to step up in the absence of key starters.

  • The outcome of the upcoming game could be influenced by the availability and performance of the injured players.
