San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula spoke to the media today. As far as injuries go,
LG Alex Boone, who was injured on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, is having an MRI today. He confirmed that
RB Kendall Gaskins did indeed suffer a concussion and is going through the concussion protocol this week.
WR Torrey Smith is being treated for the back spasms that kept bringing him out of Sunday's game.
DB Jimmie Ward suffered an elbow contusion and not a break.
Many of the questions focused around player comments following the game. Tomsula disagreed with
LT Joe Staley and his comments that the team may have overlooked the Browns. "Maybe he was speaking from a personal note. I don't know," said Tomsula. "Number one, we have no right to overlook anyone. Number two, in the NFL, I don't care if you are 14-0, you better not overlook anyone."
"We didn't execute. I didn't see an effort problem," said Tomsula regarding the loss on Sunday.
Tomsula confirmed that his coaching staff would not change for the team's final three games.
When asked if there were younger guys that the team would like to take a look at, Tomsula said, "No. I think you've seen us working everybody all year."
The 49ers run defense was atrocious during Sunday's loss. Tomsula feels that the defensive mistakes are correctable.

Latest NFL.com mock draft suggests 49ers upgrade right tackle spot
NFL Media's Adam Rank has thrown his hat into the mock draft ring. However, there's a slight twist. Rather than projecting what NFL teams will do in Round 1, he's sharing what he believes they should do in Round 1. For the San Francisco 49ers at No. 31 overall, Rank suggests general manager John Lynch should focus on upgrading the offensive line. Specifically, he recommends finding a replacement for Colton McKivitz at right tackle.
Rank proposes that the 49ers use their first-round pick on former Oklahoma tackle Tyler Guyton.
"Last season, Colton McKivitz gave up nine sacks -- tied for fourth-most in the NFL, per PFF," Rank
49ers insider believes team may prefer WR Brandon Aiyuk play on fifth-year option
The San Francisco 49ers don't always do things like other NFL teams do. But they are consistent, for the most part. Seemingly every offseason, especially in recent years, a star player has wanted a new contract. From TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner to WR Deebo Samuel and Edge Nick Bosa, the 49ers have given new contracts, but they have waited until late July-early August (and in Bosa's case—September) to do so, much to the chagrin of those players, who wanted their new deal sooner rather than later.
It may not have happened as soon as the players wanted it to, but it has happened. Kittle's contract talks reportedly weren't as smooth as he might have hoped, Samuel famously scrubbed his social media accounts of all things 49ers, and Bosa didn't sign until a few days
Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
49ers express pre-draft interest in Oklahoma D-lineman Jonah Laulu
Justin Melo of The Draft Network reports that the San Francisco 49ers expressed interest in Jonah Laulu, meeting with the defensive lineman at Oklahoma's pro day on March 12.
Melo notes that Laulu is versatile enough to play defensive end or defensive tackle on an NFL defense, making him an intriguing prospect for the 49ers, who value players who can fill multiple roles.
