San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media on Monday and provided updates on several injuries from Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The most significant injury was to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who suffered a torn ACL and is lost for the season. The good news, if there is any, is that Garoppolo did not tear any other ligaments in his knee aside from the ACL.
Veteran cornerback Richard Sherman suffered a calf injury during the second quarter and needed assistance off the field at halftime. Shanahan said that he was told Sherman's injury is not connected to his previous Achilles injury.
"The surgery that he had on his Achilles was his right leg," Shanahan said. "This is his left calf."
Below are the updates that Shanahan provided.
- QB Jimmy Garoppolo (torn ACL) — out for the season
- CB Richard Sherman (calf strain) — out a couple weeks
- S Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder stinger) — will be checked again on Wednesday
- G Mike Person (slight knee sprain) — will probably be questionable this week
- G Joshua Garnett (toe) — Shanahan said he would be surprised if he returned this week
- RB Matt Breida (hyperextended knee, calf soreness) — questionable this week
- RB Alfred Morris (ankle) — should be ok and will be checked again on Wednesday
- WR Marquise Goodwin (quadricep) — expected to be fine
- S Adrian Colbert (hip) — will be checked again on Wednesday

A questionable rumor surfaced on Wednesday regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers' interest in San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein reported that the AFC team was seemingly confident they could pull off a trade for Aiyuk.
However, the credibility of this report comes into question due to the assertion that the Steelers believe they could acquire Aiyuk at a bargain price, possibly in exchange for a second-round draft pick and a late-round selection.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
Brock Purdy hopes Kyle Shanahan makes addition to 49ers playbook
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for a franchise-record 4,280 yards last season, leading the team to the Super Bowl and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He held onto the football 39 times on the ground, rushing for 144 yards and scoring twice. This marked a significant improvement over his rookie 2022 campaign when he had 22 carries for 13 yards and a score.
Purdy further displayed his athleticism during the 49ers' playoff game against the Detroit Lions last season, helping engineer a comeback victory while rushing for 48 yards on five carries.
On Tuesday morning, Purdy joined the "Pat McAfee Show," acknowledging that he believes he can contribute more rushing yards if called upon. However, that decision rests with head coach Kyle Shanahan,
