49ers practice and media schedule leading to Week 12 matchup vs. Saints
The San Francisco 49ers will hold three full practices this week as the team prepares for its Week 12 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Only two practices will be open to the media due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan, defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryan, and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo are scheduled to speak with the media. The 49ers will make the press conferences available at 49ers.com, on the team's official mobile app, and YouTube page.

NFL fines 49ers' Dre Greenlaw $10,609 for 'bang-bang play' on Chargers' Justin Herbert
Dre Greenlaw posted "Free me" to social media shortly after being ejected from Sunday night's game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers. Officials from New York ruled the linebacker's helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Justin Herbert warranted him exiting the game.

49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo on NFL future: "I'll worry about that at the end of the year"

Garoppolo expected to be elsewhere this season, even after his trade stock plummeted following offseason shoulder surgery. With no one interested in a quarterback going through rehab, Garoppolo signed a restructured one-year deal with the 49ers to serve as Trey Lance's backup.

Garoppolo entered the season looking to support Lance and do what he could in his role as QB2. However, everything changed in Week 2 when
