Speaker 1: Hello, faithful, Welcome to a breaking news Move the Chains
Speaker 1: episode of the first and ten podcast. I'm your host
Speaker 1: Brianna McDonald with forty nine Ers team reporter Lindsay Plares,
Speaker 1: and today we've got some important updates coming your way
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty nine Ers after their Week
Speaker 1: fourteen win over the Chicago Bears. Lindsay, let's dive right
Speaker 1: into the game, recap a refreshing win after a tough
Speaker 1: few weeks. And you caught up with George Kittle right
Speaker 1: after the matchup. What sort of insight did he share
Speaker 1: with you about finally getting over the hump?
Speaker 2: You know, George Kittle is the forty nine Ers hype man,
Speaker 2: win or lose, so after a win, you know he's
Speaker 2: extra excited. He really spoke about just this team finally
Speaker 2: getting into a good offensive flow early and more than anything,
Speaker 2: playing complimentary football. He said, a ton of players had
Speaker 2: the opportunity to make play, they took it and they
Speaker 2: ran with it, and that was the recipe for success
Speaker 2: for the Niners in Week fourteen. So the offense was
Speaker 2: able to stay on the field, convert third down, convert
Speaker 2: in the red zone. Obviously, he had six amazing catches
Speaker 2: that really contributed to their success on the field. And
Speaker 2: you know, we gave a big shout out to the
Speaker 2: d line who had six sacks on the day, So
Speaker 2: all major contributions the forty nine Ers needed to get
Speaker 2: back in the win column. And yeah, he was hyped.
Speaker 1: Yeah, story of the night was complimentary football and George
Speaker 1: Kittle balled out on Sunday. But now head coach Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan just called in with the media to go over
Speaker 1: the latest updates from the team. I know rookie running
Speaker 1: back Isaac Grendo's status is top of mind for a
Speaker 1: lot of the faithful. What did Shanahan say about his
Speaker 1: injury and really the health of the rest of the team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as it has been the case for the forty
Speaker 2: nine Ers this season, injuries continue to play a very
Speaker 2: significant role. Obviously, not the best news for forty nine
Speaker 2: Ers fans on this victory Monday, but there's a few
Speaker 2: of them, so let's get to it. You talked about
Speaker 2: rookie running back Isaac Grendo last night. The fear was
Speaker 2: that he had a footsprain. Head coach KYLEE. Shanahan was
Speaker 2: able to confirm that, so that does mean that Grenda's
Speaker 2: availability for Thursday is in question. He's going to be
Speaker 2: evaluated over the next few days, and he said, we'll
Speaker 2: see if he's got a shot for Thursday. If he
Speaker 2: can't go, it will be Patrick Taylor Junior who we
Speaker 2: saw and come in and get those significant reps basically
Speaker 2: from midway through that fourth quarter on he punched in
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers final touchdown of the game. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in him if it gets to that,
Speaker 2: but again, there's going to be check ins, I think
Speaker 2: every day this week for Grendo. Other injuries to watch
Speaker 2: coming out of the game. Linebacker de Winners had an
Speaker 2: ankle injury is going to be day to day. Same
Speaker 2: thing with Malek Mustafa, a safety, he has a chest
Speaker 2: slash shoulder. Also day to day. For defensive lineman Nick Bosa,
Speaker 2: he's been dealing with that lingering hip and oblique injury,
Speaker 2: and then left tackle Trent Williams also dealing with that
Speaker 2: lingering ankle injury. They've been out the last three weeks consecutively.
Speaker 1: Together.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be evaluated as a week goes on, and
Speaker 2: nothing's really changed with their status as far as we know.
Speaker 2: And then linebacker Dimitrius Flannigan Fell still working through a
Speaker 2: knee injury day to day. Before I forget also offensive
Speaker 2: lineman Ben BArch he was getting his second start at
Speaker 2: left guard filling in for Aaron Banks on Sunday. He
Speaker 2: exeited the game pretty early. It turns out it's a
Speaker 2: high ankle sprain, and Shanahan said most likely he'll be
Speaker 2: headed to the injured reserve list. The positive news coming
Speaker 2: out of that is that Aaron Banks, who does typically
Speaker 2: start at left guard, did finally clear that concussion protocol,
Speaker 2: so I think you should expect to see him back
Speaker 2: in action this week as well.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, more details on Isaac and latest team
Speaker 1: updates are already available on forty nine ers dot com.
Speaker 1: But lindsay, it's a short week, just three days away
Speaker 1: from primetime football. What's this schedule like for the team
Speaker 1: as they work to recover and prepare for the RAMS
Speaker 1: in just the matter of a few days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with a week like this, it's basically Monday and
Speaker 2: Tuesday really the first half of the week. Tuesday's the
Speaker 2: second half of the week. Wednesday is Saturday, and you
Speaker 2: know it's Thursday, but it feels like a Sunday because
Speaker 2: it's game day, so one practice that will be open
Speaker 2: to the media and that happens tomorrow. All of the
Speaker 2: press conferences happening tomorrow. So any updates like the status
Speaker 2: of linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who is also in his practice
Speaker 2: window from the pop list, we'll find out more and
Speaker 2: whether or not he'll be activated for the forty nine
Speaker 2: Ers Week fifteen matchup against the Rams.
