During practices, Hyde has been wearing a blue non-contact jersey to protect his shoulder. How did he feel earlier this week? "A lot better this week than last week," Hyde said on Thursday. "Today I participated in the whole practice. Things went good and things are heading in a good direction. So hopefully things stay on track, nothing takes me off track leading up to Sunday. There's a good chance I will be out there."
Head coach Chip Kelly has stated that Hyde's availability for Sunday's game will be determined by the 49ers medical staff and not the coaches. News that he expects to play might indicate that the information that he is receiving from the team is positive.
