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.

49ers remain cautious about QB Trey Lance's Sunday status as he rebounds from injured finger
Trey Lance's finger appears to be healing fast enough for him to be ready to play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but the 49ers are still taking things one day at a time as they continue to assess his status.
Lance has been working his way back to full practice participation after injuring his finger when his hand hit the helmet of a defensive player during the 49ers' preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders on August 29. He was seen throwing at practice Thursday without any visible problems after shedding the splint he was wearing days earlier, but the 49ers still listed him as limited during their Thursday injury
