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

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.

49ers' Emmanuel Moseley seeks to help Trey Lance, stop Brandon Aiyuk
Emmanuel Moseley is always open to helping his San Francisco 49ers teammates. One, however, doesn't seem to need any help. In fact, the fifth-year cornerback is looking to stop one teammate who has been a headache thus far for the defense.
Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is having an excellent training camp, putting in day after day of impressive effort. The 49ers defensive backs have been praising Aiyuk, expecting the third-year wideout to have a breakout season.
"Right now, he's having an outstanding camp," safety Jimmie Ward said this week. "I feel like he's having the best camp out of everybody on the team, offense and defense."

49ers' DeMeco Ryans identifies training camp focus for Javon Kinlaw: 'Technique, technique, technique'
San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw is big, strong, and has all the tools to succeed in the NFL. His 2020 rookie campaign was underwhelming, racking up just 1.5 sacks to go along with 33 tackles, three for a loss, four quarterback hits, and one interception.
Kinlaw's 2021 campaign was cut short by injury. The former No. 14 overall pick appeared in only four games before undergoing season-ending reconstructive surgery to repair his ACL. With Kinlaw making his way back to the football field, reporters were curious about the training camp focus for the 6-foot-5 defender.
"Kinlaw, I tell him every day as I walk by him. I just say, 'Technique, technique, technique," defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday. "That's the main thing. If he just
DeMeco Ryans on why Javon Kinlaw could be key to 49ers defense's success
Last week, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans identified three things defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw needed to work on in preparation for his third NFL season: technique, technique, technique. Kinlaw is returning after undergoing season-ending reconstructive surgery to repair his ACL last year. To this point, the former No. 14 overall pick's contributions have been underwhelming.
That could change in 2022, though. Kinlaw has put in the work during his recover, and as the 49ers ramp up his training camp workload, many feel that the defender could be on the cusp of becoming a dominant force for the defensive front.
"I think Javon, he's
