Head coach Chip Kelly said today that he had no idea if Hyde would play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Following today's practice, Hyde was asked if he would play Sunday. "I don't know," he answered. "I really hope so."
Hyde also clarified that he has a sprained AC joint and that his shoulder remains sore.
AC joint sprain recovery varies based on severity.
