WR Torrey Smith suffered a concussion on December 11 against the New York Jets. He entered the concussion protocol and missed this past Sunday's game against the Falcons in Atlanta. He didn't even travel with the team.
"He's in the concussion protocol," 49ers head coach Chip Kelly said this morning while addressing the media.
On the Murph & Mac show this morning on
KNBR 680, Smith would not commit to playing on Christmas Eve against the Los Angeles Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Smith discussed what it meant to be in the concussion protocol. "It just basically means that they're kind of easing you back in, in terms of physical activities," explained Smith. "It's all based on your symptoms. I'm feeling way better but there's still some issues there. And they kind of monitor it, make sure things aren't getting worse. They give you different types of tests to see how your body responds."
Smith went on to say that he has not passed those tests. "I take the test (again) later this week," he said. "So we'll see."
Smith was asked if he would play on Saturday against the Rams. "We'll see," he answered. Smith said that, even though there are only two games left in the season, that doesn't necessarily mean that he does not want to play. "My health is the most important thing," Smith continued. "I want to make sure that I'm fine to go and then I can play."

Kyle Shanahan doesn't rule out 49ers signing Mohamed Sanu, discusses Ziggy Ansah

Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Sunday's report that the San Francisco 49ers plan to host veteran pass rusher Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah this week for a workout.
"I've always been a fan of Ziggy," Shanahan told reporters via Zoom on Monday. "Playing against him and stuff, he's always been a real good player. With (defensive line coach) Kris (Kocurek) having such a good relationship with him over the years, coaching him in Detroit, so we've always kept in contact with him.
"I don't know what the plan is yet, but we're bringing him in tomorrow to work him out, see where he's at, and we'll see how it goes."
Ansah has recorded 228 tackles, 50.5 sacks, four
George Kittle could play vs. Jets even if he doesn't practice, says 49ers' Kyle Shanahan

A San Francisco 49ers player rarely suits up for a game without practicing during the days leading up to that game. George Kittle is a rare tight end, though. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Kittle wouldn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. The tight end may not practice until Friday, and even that is not a certainty.
That doesn't mean the New York Jets won't have to game plan for him, though.
"Kittle, he's battling," Shanahan told reporters before Wednesday's practice. "We thought it would be alright. He woke up the next day a little sore. He fully expects to be there Sunday, like he always does. Just like he always plays through the game when it happens."
Kittle suffered a knee sprain on a hit from safety Budda Baker during Sunday's loss to

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters on Monday afternoon, the day after the team's costly 31-13 victory over the New York Jets, and provided several injury updates.
Defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas were not among the updates. That's because the MRI truck the team had scheduled to arrive at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, where the team is staying and practicing this week, broke down on the way there. The 49ers had to send their injured players to a local hospital for MRIs. They are backed up on receiving some of the reports.
Shanahan was able to provide the following injury updates.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a high-ankle sprain.
Running back Raheem Mostert suffered an MCL sprain
