Head coach Kyle Shanahan provided updates on both players during a Thursday appearance on Bay Area radio station KNBR. While their chances of playing don't seem promising, Shanahan did not completely rule out the possibility.
"They're making progress," Shanahan said. "I mean, they're getting better, but not good enough to practice. So, we're still giving them time, especially those two players. They've got two more days. Three, if we count right before kickoff.
"So, hopefully, they can turn the corner, and get better, and have a chance to go this Sunday. Wish they could have gone today (in practice), but they're still not there yet."
The 49ers have one final practice on Friday before hosting the Bears at Levi's Stadium this weekend. With five games remaining and the team not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, the 49ers are focused on finishing the season strong.
