JAVON KINLAW NEWS

Ready for season debut Kinlaw is active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Eagles.

Impact Kinlaw was sidelined by a knee issue for Week 1 against Detroit. However, there was optimism surrounding his Week 2 status after he was able to log limited practices on both Thursday and Friday. He may not return to a full role initially, but he should bolster the 49ers' defensive line against the Eagles.

On track for Week 2 Kinlaw (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garofolo of NFL Network report.

Impact Kinlaw's knee injury kept him sidelined for the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Lions and prevented him from practicing Wednesday, but he logged a pair of limited sessions Thursday and Friday to take a questionable tag into the weekend. So long as Kinlaw's knee responds well to warmups, he looks like he'll be ready to make his 2021 debut Sunday, though the 49ers could monitor his snap count carefully. As a rookie last season, the South Carolina product recorded 33 stops, four pass breakups, 1.5 sacks and an interception across 14 games.

Questionable for Week 2 The 49ers listed Kinlaw (knee) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinlaw was listed as doubtful ahead of Week 1 and didn't suit up against the Lions. The 23-year-old appears to be progressing well, but he will likely still be a game-time decision Sunday.

Not facing Detroit Kinlaw (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, according to Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official website.

Impact Kinlaw was originally listed as doubtful due to a knee problem, and as expected, he's been ruled out for the season opener. His next chance to feature will come in Week 2 at Philadelphia, though everything would depend on how his recovery progresses.

Doubtful for Week 1 Kinlaw (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear whether this knee injury is related to the knee swelling Kinlaw dealt with early in training camp. Either way, the starting defensive tackle is unlikely to dress for the season opener, which would open up an opportunity for Kentavius Street to take on a larger role.

Returns Wednesday Kinlaw (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After managing knee swelling at the start of camp, Kinlaw is now nursing a shoulder issue. His return to the practice field is certainly a postitive sign, as the team would presumably not rush their starting defensive tackle back if he was not ready. He accumulated 33 tackles (15 solo), 1.5 sacks, an interception and one touch down across 14 games during his rookie campaign in 2020.

Impact Kinlaw has been slowly eased into training camp activities due to knee swelling, but it looks like he's back to full speed. The second-year defensive tackle can be considered on track for his usual starting role Week 1, barring any setbacks.

Knee swelling resurfaces Kinlaw (knee) is being eased into training camp activities due to swelling, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Kinlaw's swelling reportedly came back while travelling, not during any sort of on-field work. The 2020 first-round pick will slowly ramp up his workload in training camp, per coach Kyle Shanahan, but there shouldn't be any concerns about his Week 1 availability.
