Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters after the Seattle Seahawks beat his San Francisco 49ers 37-27 at CenturyLink Field on Sunday. The coach provided injury updates to three critical losses from the matchup.
Jimmy Garoppolo left the game with
an ankle injury after a sack late in the third quarter. The quarterback missed two games earlier this season with a high-ankle sprain.
"I know it was hurt, which I think we all saw when he didn't go back in on that one play," Shanahan told reporters. "He had a good week of practice throwing it, but high-ankle sprains linger, so you never know when it's going to affect you. I know he hurt it later in the game, or re-hurt it, and we'll wait until tomorrow to see how bad it is."
Tight end
George Kittle left the game early in the fourth quarter and
did not return. The team reported that he suffered a foot injury.
"Kittle, nothing was broken, at least on the X-rays," Shanahan said. "So, we've got to check MRIs and stuff tomorrow."
Shanahan added that he's hoping to get tight end Jordan Reed back in time for the 49ers' game against the Green Bay Packers in four days.
Tevin Coleman was
activated off injured reserve on Saturday after suffering a knee injury during Week 2. The running back
left the game with an injury to the same knee and did not return.
"Yeah, it was the same knee," Shanahan said. "He wanted to go back in. We tried, and he just couldn't. So, I don't know what the deal is for this week. Obviously, I'm hoping he's ready for Thursday, but his knee was reinjured, and he couldn't go back in the game."

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,
NFL Nation mock draft sees 49ers pivoting after run on tackles
ESPN recently conducted a mock draft involving its NFL Nation reporters, where each assumed the general manager role for the team they cover. This unique process benefits from selectors who are intimately aware of each team's needs.
The San Francisco 49ers are expected to address their offensive line with the No. 31 overall pick, marking the team's first first-round selection since 2021. Nick Wagoner, acting as general manager John Lynch, had to adapt his plan based on earlier selections taking several offensive tackles off draft boards.
With those options gone, Wagoner opted for former Missouri pass rusher Darius
