49ers-Lions Injury Report: Trey Lance limited but throws; Emmanuel Moseley, Javon Kinlaw don’t practice
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 1 contest against the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
The 49ers added another practice squad protection today. Cornerback
Dontae Johnson joins quarterback Nate Sudfeld and wide receiver
Travis Benjamin. None of the three can be signed by another team until after Sunday's game.
Quarterback
Trey Lance's status for this weekend remains unclear. He suffered a chipped bone in the index finger of his throwing hand on August 29. Lance was limited during practice but could throw the football—something he has been unable to do since the injury.
It's progress.
"We'll see how practice goes today," Shanahan responded after being asked about the rookie's availability against the Lions. "We haven't been able to do anything live yet. I mean, he can do it on air, but that will be decided off of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."
Shanahan said that wide receiver
Jalen Hurd was a candidate for injured reserve. The third-year player has yet to play in a regular-season game during his NFL career and is returning from a torn ACL suffered before last season.
Cornerback
Emmanuel Moseley's and defensive tackle
Javon Kinlaw's statuses are worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses.
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Lions, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

Kyle Shanahan assesses the play of Trey Lance, Trey Sermon, others during 49ers-Seahawks
Kyle Shanahan had a chance to study the film from yesterday's disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks and has reviewed the game with his players. The San Francisco 49ers head coach spoke with reporters today via a conference call and assessed the play of several players, including rookie quarterback Trey Lance.
Lance started the second half after Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a calf contusion. The veteran quarterback will be re-evaluated later this week and could still play against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
As for Lance, he finished the game 9-of-18 for 157 yards with two touchdowns. The coach was asked what teaching points from the game he
John Lynch evaluates 49ers rookie Trey Lance's first start, explains Trey Sermon's vanishing act
Trey Lance started his first NFL game this past weekend, replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo. The rookie quarterback's performance had its ups and downs. Despite the defeat and the San Francisco 49ers falling to 2-3 on the season, the outing was an excellent opportunity for Lance to learn and gain valuable experience.
General manager John Lynch joined KNBR today. He offered an evaluation of Lance's first start and didn't feel the moment was too big for the 21-year-old.
"I think that was the case from the very first play," Lynch said on the Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks show. "You know, welcome to the NFL. J.J. Watt and Chandler Jones blow by our offensive line on the first play, and Trey's got enough athleticism and instinct to pull up and make an
Joe Staley: Jimmy Garoppolo will start, but 49ers are more exciting with Trey Lance
Former San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle, Joe Staley, went on KNBR Radio on Monday to discuss the 49ers' loss to the Arizona Cardinals. As expected, the conversation went to the quarterback situation with Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, including who Staley believed would be under center in two weeks when the 49ers play the Indianapolis Colts.
"I think he made his decision before the season even started," Staley said on the Papa & Lund show. "If Jimmy's healthy, he's going to be our quarterback this year. They want to use it as a red-shirt year, almost, for Trey this season. I was encouraged."
That seemed to be the plan in the offseason, to have Lance sit and learn. Even after the game on Sunday, Kyle Shanahan continued to hold his ground that
