The San Francisco 49ers had hoped to get several injured players back practicing on Monday. The session kicked off at 10:55 a.m., and missing were running back Tevin Coleman (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back).
Also missing was pass rusher Dee Ford, who is dealing with the
recurrence of the knee tendinitis that kept him out of the preseason. Ford has said he plans to play through the discomfort this season.
The good news is that cornerback
Jason Verrett was practicing. He left the 49ers' Week 3 game against the Steelers a bit "nicked up,"
according to general manager John Lynch.
Hurd suffered a back injury during the 49ers' second preseason game and hasn't played or practiced since then. San Francisco made Hurd a third-round draft pick out of Baylor in April.
"I mean, he had a fracture in his back," head coach
Kyle Shanahan said on September 23. "A hairline deal, something. It's been a serious injury, that's why he had to rest it for about a month, and we're getting close to where he should be ready to go. Hopefully, it'll work out right for him. You never know when they come back out if that can act up again, but we feel it's healing up, and hopefully, he'll be able to come out here and help us."
Coleman has been dealing with a high-ankle sprain since Week 1. The injury occurred during the first play of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Lynch
joined KNBR last week and shared what Coleman brings to San Francisco's running back group.
"Tevin is a little bit unique in that he does everything really well," Lynch said. "He can catch it. He can run with power. He can run with speed, elusiveness. So that's where Tevin is of great value to us."
Coleman
was seen warming up on a side field.
We aren't likely to see a team-issued injury report until Thursday, thanks to the 49ers' next game being on Monday night.

49ers' Brandon Aiyuk seemingly celebrates news of Amon-Ra St. Brown's deal
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in high spirits, and it's no wonder why. He's well aware that his bank account is about to get a significant boost, one way or another.
Aiyuk posted a video to Instagram, showing himself dancing and seemingly celebrating the good fortune of one of his NFL peers. The Detroit Lions recently inked their star wideout, Amon-Ra St. Brown, to a lucrative four-year, $120 million contract extension. Aiyuk eagerly awaits his own deal from the 49ers and recognizes that the news out of Detroit will only strengthen his agent, Ryan Williams' hand at the negotiating table.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
