Dre Greenlaw - Not near return Greenlaw (Achilles) is not expected to be ready for his season debut until a few weeks after the 49ers' bye, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Monday there's still going to be some time before Greenlaw is activated off injured reserve. The linebacker tore his left Achilles in last year's Super Bowl, which means his is roughly eight months removed from the injury. San Francisco will play the Buccaneers and Seahawks after its bye week, so Week 12 versus the Packers would likely be the soonest pontential return date for him.

Chris Conley - Dealing with ankle sprain Conley (ankle) suffered an ankle sprain in Sunday's 28-18 loss to Kansas City, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Conley played 44 of the team's 63 offensive snaps in the contest, failing to reel in either of his targets while picking up an apparent ankle sprain in the process. The wide receiver is considered to be day-to-day with the injury for the time being according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the year and Deebo Samuel (illness) dealing with pneumonia, Conley and Jauan Jennings (hip) could step into prominent roles in Week 8 against Dallas if available.

Jake Moody - Won't play Week 8 Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Moody (ankle) won't play in next Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact The 49ers have a Week 9 bye, so Moody will get another two weeks to heal. Anders Carlson will again kick for San Francisco after he made both of his field-goal attempts (from 55 and 24 yards) against Kansas City. Carlson, however, missed his one extra-point try.

George Kittle - Dealing with foot sprain Coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle has a sprained foot and is day-to-day, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact All of the 49ers' top skill-position talents not named Brock Purdy are dealing with some sort of health concern at the moment. RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) remains on IR and is unlikely to return this week, WR Brandon Aiyuk suffered ACL and MCL tears in his right ankle Sunday against the Chiefs, and WR Deebo Samuel is hospitalized with pneumonia and doesn't have a timeline for his return, leaving Kittle as the healthiest of the bunch. Still, Kittle may have some practice limitations Wednesday through Friday to ensure he at least is available to Purdy and San Francisco's offense Week 7.

Christian McCaffrey - Unlikely for Sunday, potentially back after bye Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that McCaffrey (Achilles) is unlikely to practice this week, but the 49ers are hopeful the running back will be able to return after their Week 9 by...
Impact Shanahan added that he'd be "surprised" if McCaffrey is able to play Sunday against the Cowboys, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. The 49ers can designate McCaffrey to return from injured reserve at any point, which would allow him to get back on the practice field and give San Francisco 21 days in which to activate him. With McCaffrey still sidelined, though, Jordan Mason will continue to operate as the 49ers' lead running back.

Anders Carlson - Kicks two FGs Sunday Carlson went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his only point-after try in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Carlson made his debut for the 49ers on Sunday and made kicks from 24 and 55 yards out. The former Packers' placekicker missed his only PAT, but it was a decent debut from a fantasy standpoint. If Jake Moody (ankle) is unable to suit up for next Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys, then Carlson would likely earn another start with San Francisco.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Has pneumonia, no timetable for return Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Samuel has been diagnosed with pneumonia and doesn't have a timeline for when he'll be available again, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Samuel attempted to play through an illness Sunday against the Chiefs but ultimately was limited to four offensive snaps before he was ruled out after halftime. Shanahan also relayed that Samuel is in the hospital, so with Brandon Aiyuk suffering season-ending ACL and MCL tears in his right knee Sunday, Jauan Jennings tending to a hip issue and Chris Conley picking up a sprained ankle Week 7, Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell are the healthy options at wide receiver for the 49ers at the moment.

Tests confirm a season-ending knee injury for 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk
San Francisco 49ers star receiver Brandon Aiyuk will miss the rest of the season after tearing ligaments in his right kneeOCTOBER 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brandon Aiyuk - Torn ACL, MCL confirmed Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Monday that Aiyuk sustained tears to the ACL and MCL in his right knee during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Aiyuk will under surgery and miss the remainder of the season, ending it with 25 catches (on 47 targets) for 374 yards and no touchdowns in seven games. With Deebo Samuel suffering from pneumonia, Jauan Jennings dealing with a hip issue and Chris Conley tending to a sprained ankle, the 49ers' current healthy wide receivers on the active roster are Ricky Pearsall, Jacob Cowing and Ronnie Bell.

Brandon Aiyuk - Torn ACL and MCL, per report Aiyuk reportedly suffered a torn ACL and MCL during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Impact Look for confirmation of the report, either way, to arrive from the 49ers later Monday, but Aiyuk appears destined for season-ending IR as a result of his knee injury. In his looming absence, Deebo Samuel (illness) and Jauan Jennings (hip) are in line to lead the 49ers' WR corps going forward, with 2024 first-rounder Ricky Pearsall also likely to see an expanded role in the team's passing offense.

Brandon Aiyuk - Believed to be done for 2024 Aiyuk's tests on his injured knee Monday revealed a season-ending injury, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Impact The exact nature of Aiyuk's injury isn't yet clear, but the fear after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs was that it was a significant injury and possibly a torn ACL. While making a catch, Aiyuk was hit low and high by a pair of Kansas City defenders going opposite directions, forcing Aiyuk's knee to bend the wrong direction. It sounds as if he'll end the 2024 season with 25 catches for 374 yards and no touchdowns across seven games after he held out the entirety of training camp while seeking a contract extension. The 49ers eventually caved and gave the star wideout a four-year, $120 million deal. Deebo Samuel and George Kittle are likely to carry even more of the target load going forward for San Francisco, and Jauan Jennings (hip) figures to draw back into the starting lineup as an every-down wideout once he's healthy. Rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing and veteran Chris Conley would be next in line for snaps.

Malik Mustapha - Niners' leading tackler in loss Mustapha recorded 12 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-18 loss versus the Chiefs.
Impact Mustapha logged a career-high 67 defensive snaps in Week 7, and he had by far his most productive game as a pro thus far. He should continue to have a significant role in San Francisco's defense at least until Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is able to return from injured reserve.

Jacob Cowing - Helps fill in for injured starters Cowing caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Cowing saw his usage increase after the 49ers lost both starting wideouts early in the contest. The 2024 fourth-round pick used that opportunity to not only record his first catch as a professional, but he also tied teammate George Kittle for the longest reception of the game (41 yards). Cowing could continue to get work as the team's third or fourth receiver -- depending on the health status of multiple wideouts this week -- when the 49ers host the Cowboys next Sunday.

Ricky Pearsall - Makes NFL debut Sunday Pearsall (chest) made his pro debut in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, grabbing three receptions for 21 yards off of five targets in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs,
Impact Pearsall triumphantly made his NFL debut after suffering a natural injury to his left shoulder this preseason and then surviving a gunshot wound to the other shoulder from an off-field incident. The 2024 first-round selection saw his usage increase in the second half after starter Brandon Aiyuk went down with what is being feared as an ACL tear in the loss. Pearsall still has to make up for lost time before being fully integrated into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, but the rookie is certainly worth a look if Aiyuk's injury proves to be serious ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Dallas.
