Tomsula: ‘We have no right to overlook anyone’

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula spoke to the media today. As far as injuries go,
LG Alex Boone, who was injured on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, is having an MRI today. He confirmed that
RB Kendall Gaskins did indeed suffer a concussion and is going through the concussion protocol this week.
WR Torrey Smith is being treated for the back spasms that kept bringing him out of Sunday's game.
DB Jimmie Ward suffered an elbow contusion and not a break.
Many of the questions focused around player comments following the game. Tomsula disagreed with
LT Joe Staley and his comments that the team may have overlooked the Browns. "Maybe he was speaking from a personal note. I don't know," said Tomsula. "Number one, we have no right to overlook anyone. Number two, in the NFL, I don't care if you are 14-0, you better not overlook anyone."
"We didn't execute. I didn't see an effort problem," said Tomsula regarding the loss on Sunday.
Tomsula confirmed that his coaching staff would not change for the team's final three games.
When asked if there were younger guys that the team would like to take a look at, Tomsula said, "No. I think you've seen us working everybody all year."
The 49ers run defense was atrocious during Sunday's loss. Tomsula feels that the defensive mistakes are correctable.

49ers GM John Lynch on right tackle hole: "There'll be a competition"
By Rohan Chakravarthi
Mar 27
The San Francisco 49ers said goodbye to a longtime member of the franchise this offseason when starting right tackle Mike McGlinchey signed a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos that included $50 million in guaranteed money.
McGlinchey, a player prone to criticism during his career with the 49ers, was extremely unlikely to re-sign, which the right tackle openly admitted, due to financial restrictions.
However, the 49ers made the first step into filling his vacancy by re-signing swing tackle Colton McKivitz, who has seen action on several spots along the offensive line, but is now expected to compete for the starting position.

Kyle Shanahan, 49ers will have better idea of Brock Purdy recovery timeline in June
It could be six months. It could be eight months. The San Francisco 49ers don't have a clear picture right now regarding quarterback Brock Purdy's recovery timeline. They will have a better idea in June, though. That's when the second-year quarterback will begin throwing again and ramping up his workload for the remaining portion of his rehabilitation.
Purdy underwent surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury suffered on January 29 in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"He won't be able to do anything on the field for—who knows?" head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Tuesday morning from the NFL owners'
Expect 49ers Javon Kinlaw to Have a Breakout Year
The San Francisco 49ers drafted Javon Kinlaw with the 14th overall pick in 2020. Since being drafted, Kinlaw has only participated in 858 snaps. His career totals are as follows: 29 pressures, 1.5 sacks, four QB hits, and 22 hurries. Kinlaw also has two batted-down passes, 45 total tackles, and one interception for a touchdown. For a first-round defensive tackle, these numbers aren't eye-popping.
Kinlaw enters the fourth year of his contract. According to reports, the 49ers don't plan to exercise the fifth-year option on Kinlaw. General manager John Lynch stated that the team doesn't plan to trade him and that his surgically repaired knee is much improved, per Cam
Carr: Sam Darnold might have more ability than Brock Purdy, could be 49ers' Week 1 starter
On Tuesday, NFL insider Ian Rapport, one of the NFL's most plugged-in reporters, made headlines declaring that, given the situation with the San Francisco 49ers, Sam Darnold would be the team's most likely Week 1 starting quarterback.
"We do not know what Trey Lance is going to be if he continues the trajectory that he's been on," Ian Rapoport said on NFL Network. "And I think, certainly, it seems Sam Darnold will more likely than not be the starter going into the season, but there is an opportunity for someone to step in there and start [the] first couple of games of the regular season for the 49ers."
Lance, the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2021, and Darnold, added
