The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 14 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Defensive end
Nick Bosa missed his third consecutive practice after emerging from this past weekend's game against the Miami Dolphins with what head coach Kyle Shanahan described as some hamstring irritation. Bosa is listed as "questionable" for Sunday's game.
"It was more on Monday," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Bosa's injury. "Sometimes those guys are going in the games, and that does happen. ... It was bothering him on Monday, and we got it looked into it, and it was legit."
Shanahan added that Bosa falls into the category of players who don't need to practice during the week to play on Sundays. The fact that the 49ers will have a quick turnaround after the upcoming game is a factor too. The team will play the Seattle Seahawks next Thursday night.
"You definitely have got to take that into account," Shanahan said.
As expected, the 49ers have ruled out quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway, and defensive back Tarvarius Moore. Moore is expected to miss a few weeks, while the other two might miss the rest of the season, with a playoff return being a slight possibility, depending on what type of postseason run the Niners have.
San Francisco doesn't currently plan to place Garoppolo or Ridgeway on the injured reserve list, said Shanahan.

REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
