It seemed as though San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's Monday press conference might be cut short. Just a minute or two after starting to speak with reporters and immediately following an injury update, a fire alarm went off just outside the Levi's Stadium auditorium. Shanahan looked around to see if they needed to evacuate.
After a few minutes, the alarm was cleared and the head coach continued with the press conference.
Below are the injury updates provided by Shanahan.
- RB Matt Breida — Shoulder. He should be alright.
- WR Pierre Garçon — Ankle. Shanahan believes he will be OK.
- WR Marquise Goodwin — Thigh and hamstring. Will be questionable this week.
- T Mike McGlinchey — Knee. Will be questionable this week.
- WR Dante Pettis — Knee. Will be out this week. Will be week-to-week after that.
- C Weston Richburg — Knee. Will be questionable this week.
- T Joe Staley — Knee. Will be questionable this week.
- S Jaquiski Tartt — Shoulder. Expected to return this week.
- DL Solomon Thomas — Shoulder sprain. Should be good to go.
Shanahan was asked if Staley's knee injury is the same thing he has dealt with in recent years.
"I believe so," Shanahan responded. "Same knee, same area."
Shanahan also said he doesn't expect cornerback Richard Sherman to play against the Arizona Cardinals, but nothing is certain this early in the week.
"I'm not expecting Sherman to be back, but I wouldn't put it past him," Shanahan said.
Safety Adrian Colbert did not start on Sunday despite being healthy. D.J. Reed started in his place. Shanahan said after the game that Colbert's lack of practice contributed to the decision to start Reed. Colbert has been dealing with a hip injury.
"I thought D.J. Reed did a good job in the game, an improvement from the week before, and I think he'll continue to get better with more reps," Shanahan said.
Where does that leave Colbert?
"I think Colbert will be healthier this week, which will give Colbert a much better chance to get his spot back," Shanahan responded. "We're one day into this (week). We'll see by Wednesday how much better he is. I expect Colbert to get out there eventually but D.J. got his opportunity because of health reasons and sometimes all guys need is an opportunity. We'll see how this week goes."

Insider provides clarity on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors
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,
49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.
