The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 7 contest against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Jimmy Garoppolo is attempting to return from a calf injury. This afternoon, head coach Kyle Shanahan said he is optimistic that his starting quarterback will be available on Sunday. However, he was less confident about backup Trey Lance's chances of being suited up against the Colts. He remains sidelined due to a knee sprain.
"We were hoping he could go this week," Shanahan said of Lance. "It doesn't look like it. He might have a chance at the end of the week, but I'd be surprised if he's not ready to go until next week."
The 49ers are still trying to manage defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw's knee injury, and are being cautious with offensive tackle
Trent Williams.
Below are Wednesday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Colts, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.

"Thank God for Mr. Irrelevant": John Lynch reflects on 49ers drafting Trey Lance
The decision to trade up in the 2021 NFL Draft and select quarterback Trey Lance could have had significant consequences for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan. With the team lacking first-round picks in the last two drafts due to this move, and Lance no longer on the roster after being traded to the Dallas Cowboys before last season, it's clear the gamble didn't unfold as expected.
Lynch held his annual pre-draft press conference on Monday, reflecting on the decision to take such a big chance on Lance. While such a bold move might have jeopardized jobs elsewhere, Lynch and Shanahan were blessed with some good fortune in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Acknowledging the support of the team's ownership, Lynch stated, "They believe in Kyle and I, and our
