The San Francisco 49ers had hoped that linebacker
Dre Greenlaw might return to the practice field last week. That didn't happen. He probably won't return this week either.
"We're probably going to have to push it off another week," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters before today's practice.
Greenlaw had core muscle surgery after Week 1 and landed on injured reserve on September 18.
"
Dre's looking really good," linebacker
Fred Warner said this week during a radio interview. "Obviously, I don't know when [he'll return]. The trainers and all those people are handling that kind of stuff. He says he feels great. He looks great. He's battled his tail off to try to get back. I mean, he misses it so much. He talks about how hard it is to watch us on Sunday because all he wants to do is be out there with his boys and help contribute."
Shanahan provided several other injury updates ahead of the team's first full practice of the week.
The following players will not participate today.
- DL Maurice Hurst, calf
- S Jimmie Ward, quad
- RB JaMycal Hasty, ankle
- WR Mohamed Sanu, knee
- S Tavon Wilson, foot
- CB Dre Kirkpatrick, ankle
The following players will be limited.
Shanahan added that Moseley's injury from the team's Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals is bothering him this week.
"It's hurting now from the game, but he should be alright," Shanahan said. "Got to be careful with him today."
Safety Jimmie Ward could return to practice on Friday. Shanahan noted, "He just can't today."

Anything short of topping his 78-catch, 1,015-receiving-yard, and eight-touchdown performance from last season might disappoint San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. All were career highs, and the fourth-year wideout expects more of himself in 2023.
"I'm about to take off," Aiyuk declared last week. "That's it. ... We all know it's football. Nothing's ever guaranteed, but just getting a better understanding for my life as a person, and then as a football player, kind of putting those things together and then just looking to get better."
If Aiyuk does "take off" during the upcoming season, it creates an interesting predicament for the organization. When
