Kyle’s update 5:15 p.m: Witherspoon has a quad injury on the official practice report. That’s a new injury https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Marquise-Goodwin-Jersey , which would suggest he had a setback. Shanahan hasn’t mentioned a timetable for Witherspoon’s return when talking about the other players that are returning from injury.49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan met with the media before Thursday’s practice. He said that tight end George Kittle won’t practice Thursday due to knee and ankle injuries. Shanahan is hopeful Kittle can play. “It’s something we’re not going to know until the end of the week.”Here is the practice report:Did not practiceRobbie Gould (quadricep)George Kittle (knee, ankle)Levine Toilolo (groin)Ahkello Witherspoon (foot, quad)LimitedMatt Breida (ankle)Dee Ford (quadricep)Kyle Juszczyk (knee)Mike McGlinchey (knee)Raheem Mostert (knee)Joe Staley (fibula)Kittle is questionable. We haven’t heard a word on Ahkello. He went from ahead of schedule to the team being silent.Shanahan said he’s confident that Staley and Juszczyk will suit up Monday night. Those two are a “hair” ahead of McGlinchey. Shanahan is hopeful that all three can play. He also said the team would “explore all of their options,” when asked if Justin Skule would move to right tackle with Staley back. Daniel Brunskill has outplayed Skule, so I don’t believe the team should make that move.Shanahan seemed discouraged about the possibility of WR Trent Taylor coming off of the injured reserve. His setbacks from a foot fracture have included an infection in the foot. Shanahan was much more optimistic about Jalen Hurd, who will be evaluated next week and will have a chance to come off IR for the December stretch run.The coach didn’t rule Gould out for Monday. “He’s got a chance to play Monday, and if not, we expect him back the following week.”Celek timeCelek has a three-week window to prove to the 49ers that he’s worthy of a roster spot. The 49ers have until November 25 to activate Celek to the 53-man roster or release him. Celek is aware:Celek has surgery on a herniated disk back in early June. Celek had a concussion that caused him to miss the final game of the season last year Joe Staley Jersey , and also had surgery in the offseason to repair his broken thumb.There is no denying the team’s love for Celek. We’re going to look at departures from each position prior to Week 1 of the 2018 season and see how they fared after leaving the San Francisco 49ers. Some players went on to better careers, while others may be out of the league. We won’t be highlighting every transaction, just some notable ones. Today, we look at the offensive line.The 49ers offensive line has been a hot mess dating back to Jim Harbaugh’s final years when the likes of Marcus Martin were trying to make a name for themselves. The back half of 2017 brought improvement and major strides were made in 2018. The addition of Mike McGlinchey and emerging presence of Mike Person helped solidify things. The 49ers O-line is by no means a finished product, but it’s come a long way since Martin, Jordan Devey and others were opening up lanes for defensive linemen to plow through. And with improvement and new faces meant trades or free agency walks. Here’s a list of the more notable departures that is no way complete. Note that with some exceptions, camp bodies, training camp transactions Solomon Thomas Color Rush Jersey , and roster cuts during the season are not listed for the most part.Daniel Kilgore (C)Brandon Fusco (RG)Trent Brown (LT)Zane Beadles (G)Daniel KilgoreFor a fifth-round pick, Kilgore managed to carve himself a role as a decent, though underwhelming starting center. Well, when he was healthy, anyways. Kilgore managed just one season of starting all 16 games in his seven years with the 49ers. When 2018 free agency began, Kilgore had a contract in his hands with the 49ers and it looked like he’d stick around. Instead, the 49ers signed Weston Richburg and traded Kilgore to the Miami Dolphins and swapped seventh-round picks to seal the deal. The move leaves only one pick from the once lauded 2011 draft class (Mike Person)It’s hard to assess how Kilgore’s season would have went with his new team. He only saw four games of action before he tore his triceps and was placed on injured reserve. Going into Week 3, he had a 56.7 rating on Pro Football FocusBrandon Fusco Fusco signed with the 49ers in the 2017 offseason and managed to show a few bright spots in 2017 https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Mike-Mcglinchey-Jersey , but was never someone that necessitated breaking the bank over in a new contract. He left for the Atlanta Falcons on a three-year, up to $12.75 million contract, an amount out of the 49ers’ budget. Fooch mentioned in his write-up above the 49ers could do better and the move freed up Mike Person to eventually win the role at right guard. As time went on, Person ended up being the solid choice. Much like Kilgore, Fusco’s assessment is a bit premature. He played seven games before going on IR with an ankle injury. Zane BeadlesEveryone’s scapegoat from 2017. After his release from the 49ers, Beadles signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons and was promptly sent to the sideline. In Week 13 due to poor play from Ben Garland, Beadles was named the starter. In his five starts, he wound up not getting a single penalty. He also made PFF’s team of the Week in Week 17. He’s a free agent again Jimmie Ward Jersey , so if you think the 49ers should roll the dice and bring him back, it’s always a possibility. Trent BrownOne of those very few Trent Baalke picks that worked out quite well. Brown was taken with a seventh-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.As the season wore on, Brown wrenched the starting job and became one of the league’s better pass-protecting tackles, getting praise from elite defenders like Von Miller. Unfortunately, weight and conditioning issues kept him out of favor with Kyle Shanahan and a decision had to be made. Another factor was how Brown’s run blocking was nowhere near as good as his pass protection. The 49ers drafted Mike McGlinchey and sent Brown to the New England Patriots a day later. In New England, Brown started all 16 games at left tackle (he played right in San Francisco), protecting Tom Brady’s blind side. 2016 and 2017 brought six false start penalties apiece and Brown has one to his name for 2018. On the flipside, he had one holding penalty in 2016 and 2017 each Dwight Clark Color Rush Jersey , but four for 2018, so pick your poison. For what it’s worth, Brown is about to start in his first Super Bowl. So he may be doing pretty well for himself. As for any improvement in the move? This blurb from Pro Football Focus may sum up Brown the best: Brown is entering 2019 as a free agent, so the 49ers could bring him back if they really saw a need to. Would you like to have any of these linemen back on the team?
