Today, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan jumped on a conference call with reporters and provided several injury updates following the team's 15-10 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
"[Defensive tackle] Maurice Hurst has a high-ankle sprain," Shanahan said. "He's going to be out a while. [Linebacker] Mychal Kendricks has a turf-toe sprain. He's also going to be out for a while. [Offensive lineman] Senio Kelemete had a back [injury]. He's day-to-day. [Cornerback Alexander] Myres was evaluated for a concussion last night, but he was cleared today. He didn't have one."
What does "out for a while" mean for Hurst and Kendricks? Could it impact the upcoming roster decisions? The 49ers must trim their roster down to 80 players by 1 p.m. PT tomorrow.
"Any time you have an ankle and a toe, you're looking at least a month," Shanahan said, "so that's something we're definitely going to have to discuss today, how it plays out for the final roster spots, what we have to do to get through the next week or so. That stuff, we'll end up discussing at the end of the day, and we'll have to have a decision by tomorrow."
This week, the 49ers are back in Santa Clara preparing for their final preseason matchup, a home game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

"Armstead's still looking like a long shot," Shanahan said on the "Tolbert and Copes" show. "Haven't ruled him out yet, officially, but I'll talk to the doctors. But I
Kyle Shanahan praises 49ers D-line's unselfish play vs. Eagles
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed pride in his defense's performance against the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday, particularly commending the unselfish play of his defensive line. The group was asked to do something outside their comfort zone—avoid being overly aggressive.
During a recent interview with Bay Area radio station KNBR, Shanahan hailed the Week 13 outing as one of the season's best defensive performances, praising his players' willingness to adapt to a unique challenge.
"I thought it was their best game, and they've had so many good games," Shanahan said on the "Tolbert and Copes" show. "But this one was different because ... it just completely goes against their DNA. That's not the way we like to play. We want to
Kyle Shanahan, 49ers players critical of Eagles staff member getting chippy with Dre Greenlaw
While there were a number of highlights that took place for the 49ers in their 42-19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the most memorable moment might have come when things got heated between 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Eagles senior advisor to the general manager/chief security officer Dom DiSandro.
The incident happened in the third quarter of Sunday's game with the 49ers holding a 21-6 lead. Greenlaw made a physical tackle on wide receiver DeVonta Smith near the Eagles sideline, which resulted in Greenlaw getting a 15-yard penalty. The tackle also prompted Eagles players, coaches and DiSandro to approach Greenlaw in Smith's defense. DiSandro put his hand on Greenlaw and gave him a slight push, after which Greenlaw poked DiSandro in the face. Both Greenlaw
