San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula spoke to the media today. He confirmed that yesterday's surgeries for
QB Colin Kaepernick (left shoulder) and
DL Glenn Dorsey (ACL) were successful and that both players are in the recovery phase. Kaepernick's surgery was in Vail, Colorado and Dorsey's was at Stanford in California.
LB Ahmad Brooks came into the week complaining about a headache. As a precaution, he was put into the concussion protocol after playing a full game on Sunday in Seattle.
RB Carlos Hyde will not practice with the team today and Tomsula said that he is still "day-to-day."
When asked about his job security, Tomsula said, "My long-term goal is Sunday. That's where I stay." Tomsula said that he has not had a conversation with management about his future with the 49ers. "Just to your point right there, we're in a performance-based business and all of us in it get it," added Tomsula.
One reporter asked Tomsula about his favorite Thanksgiving food. "It's all good. I mean, look at me. My wife's a good cook," he replied.

John Lynch says Deebo Samuel will be with the 49ers for a long time
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is becoming one of the NFL's biggest stars. He racked up 1,770 all-purpose yards this season and 15 total touchdowns (6 receiving, 8 rushing, 1 passing). Samuel has frustrated opposing defenses as a receiver, as a rusher, and even tossed a touchdown pass this past weekend against the Los Angeles Rams.
Samuel is in his third NFL season, which means it's time to start thinking about a contract extension for the 25-year-old star. He's positioned himself to be among the highest-paid players at his position. However, Samuel is unique in that he does so much more than just playing wide receiver.
"Deebo's going to be well compensated, and we plan on him being a Niner for a long time," general manager John Lynch said

It's been well-known that Jimmy Garoppolo is likely in his last season with the San Francisco 49ers, the first team in his career to anoint him a full-time starter after giving him a then record-breaking five-year, $137.5 million extension following the 2017 NFL season.
Garoppolo has certainly had his ups and downs this season, highlighted by San Francisco's record, as they had a four-game losing streak early in the season before finishing strong with a 7-2 record in their last nine games.
Garoppolo hasn't been shy about his emotions, understanding the magnitude of the situation, given that he is essentially trying out for other teams right now ahead of the offseason.
"You know, it's a fine line [in removing the emotion about my future]," Garoppolo
Rapoport: Jimmy Garoppolo helping his future with deep 49ers playoff run
People keep writing off Jimmy Garoppolo, and the San Francisco 49ers quarterback keeps winning football games. He's now won three consecutive starts while playing with a pretty severe right thumb injury. First, his Niners beat the Los Angeles Rams to clinch a playoff berth in the final regular-season game. Then, he helped his team upset the NFC East champions, the Dallas Cowboys. On Saturday, Garoppolo was part of a stunner, helping knock off the top-seeded Green Bay Packers.
By the way, each of those games was on the road, including the frigid matchup this past weekend at Lambeau Field.
Garoppolo's teammates believe in him. His coaches obviously believe in him. Kyle Shanahan has stuck with the veteran passer, despite having the No. 3 overall pick, Trey Lance, on
