This morning, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that there is a "real possibility" that San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman will not play this season.
Bowman has been recovering from a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in last season's NFC Championship game in Seattle.
Yesterday, an MRI revealed that Bowman's knee looked fine. However, he has still experienced pain which has stalled the decision to activate him and allow him to start practicing.
The 49ers have until Tuesday, November 18th to clear Bowman or he will be lost for the season.
The 49ers have been struck hard by injuries and were hoping for Bowman, one of the league's best linebackers, to return to form and contribute before the end of the season. The team has already lost linebacker Patrick Willis, who opted to have surgery on a muscle strain in the big toe on his left foot,
ending his season.

"Santa Clara County is expected to release new COVID-19 restrictions in light of its rising caseload Saturday," reports Fiona Kelliher, "including a temporary ban on all high school, collegiate and professional sports,

San Francisco 49ers rookie defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw recorded his first NFL sack on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. In fact, he was credited with 1.5 sacks during the game.
While Kinlaw was among Pro Football Focus' lowest-graded players from the game, one analyst, Brian Baldinger of NFL Network, once again saw flashes of greatness from the first-year defender. The potential is there, and Baldy feels Kinlaw could develop into a devastating force in the NFL.
How devastating? Baldy offered some high praise while breaking down one of a few plays by the 49ers' first-round pick.

It's been an interesting last couple of weeks for the San Francisco 49ers. Defensive lineman Arik Armstead landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list the day after the team's Week 10 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Eight others joined him after that.
Armstead, along with center Hroniss Grasu and rookie defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, has since been removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list. That still leaves the following six 49ers players unavailable, though.
