The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 14 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Defensive end
Nick Bosa missed his third consecutive practice after emerging from this past weekend's game against the Miami Dolphins with what head coach Kyle Shanahan described as some hamstring irritation. Bosa is listed as "questionable" for Sunday's game.
"It was more on Monday," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Bosa's injury. "Sometimes those guys are going in the games, and that does happen. ... It was bothering him on Monday, and we got it looked into it, and it was legit."
Shanahan added that Bosa falls into the category of players who don't need to practice during the week to play on Sundays. The fact that the 49ers will have a quick turnaround after the upcoming game is a factor too. The team will play the Seattle Seahawks next Thursday night.
"You definitely have got to take that into account," Shanahan said.
As expected, the 49ers have ruled out quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway, and defensive back Tarvarius Moore. Moore is expected to miss a few weeks, while the other two might miss the rest of the season, with a playoff return being a slight possibility, depending on what type of postseason run the Niners have.
San Francisco doesn't currently plan to place Garoppolo or Ridgeway on the injured reserve list, said Shanahan.

Deebo Samuel were limited during Wednesday and Thursday's practices but were full participants on Friday. They did not appear on the game status report, which means they are all good to go for Sunday.

New 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen may not have all the answers yet in regards to how his defense will perform in the upcoming season, but it sounds like his approach will remain largely similar to what the team has done in the past under head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Sorensen held his first media session as 49ers defensive coordinator before the team's rookie minicamp on Friday and provided a glimpse on how he wants his defense to look once they take the field in September. The plan is to show the NFL that the 49ers haven't changed much in terms of intensity and flying to the ball.
"I want them to see we're still the standard of what we've always been -- an attacking defense that plays fast," Sorensen said. "We play violent. We play with speed, and we

Opening comments:
"Good to see you guys. I'm excited. Go ahead, you can ask questions. We just got out of walk-through with our rookies. It's pretty cool to have those guys here."
When an offense takes a look at your defense, early in the season, what do you want them to see? What is going to be the identity of your defense?

The San Francisco 49ers' defense suffered a devastating blow in November when safety Talanoa Hufanga went down with a season-ending ACL injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rookie Ji'Ayir Brown filled in for the injured All-Pro, whose absence was felt among his teammates.
All signs point toward Hufanga's recovery being on schedule, with the safety even eyeing a potential return some time during training camp.
"It's always scary coming back from an ACL, but once you come back, in this day and age, it's usually okay," head coach Kyle Shanahan said in March. "[We] expect to get him some time in training camp, so that should be all right."
Last week, Nick
Dre Greenlaw initially thought someone had stepped on his foot as he returned to the football field during Super Bowl 58. The idea that he had suffered a severe injury didn't cross his mind. Even after he made his way onto the sideline, the San Francisco 49ers' star linebacker didn't anticipate exiting the game permanently.
It wasn't until he started trying to put pressure on his foot that he realized more was going on with the injury. Further tests confirmed what the training staff suspected: Greenlaw had torn his Achilles. His absence was a blow for the San Francisco 49ers, who had to continue the game without him.
Ultimately, the 49ers lost Super Bowl 58 to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, a devastating defeat for Greenlaw, who watched from the sidelines as
