San Francisco 49ers tackle Mike McGlinchey has been sidelined with a knee injury since the team's first preseason game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was optimistic that the offensive lineman might return to practice this week. McGlinchey was suited up for today's practice, per multiple reports. He wore a brace over his right knee.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel did not practice yesterday due to a contusion behind his knee. He and offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill missed today too but were seen running on the side during the early open portion of practice.

The 49ers have one more practice scheduled before Wednesday's day off. After that, the team will begin preparations for its Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears.
A few other 49ers players were not seen during practice. ESPN's Nick Wagoner notes that tackle Trent Williams, linebackers Oren Burks, Curtis Robinson, and Dre Greenlaw, and defensive lineman Akeem Spence were among those who were absent.

Also did not see LB Dre Greenlaw.

It's worth noting that, like yesterday, Garoppolo was not seen during today's practice. The quarterback has not been practicing or attending team meetings as the 49ers look to trade him. However, reporters often saw Garoppolo working on the side during training camp practices. That has not been the case this week.
