[Skip to main content](#content)

The San Francisco 49ers’ final injury report is out. The following players will _not_ play this Sunday:

WR Christian KirkWR Deebo Samuel

WR Mike Evans

These players have a questionable designation:

S Siran NealCB Upton StoutWR Demarcus Robinson

CB Nate Hobbs

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kirk hurt his meniscus during Thursday’s practice. The team doesn’t know whether Kirk will need surgery. They are still trying to decide. Shanahan wouldn’t confirm whether Kirk suffered a tear. “I don’t know. It said meniscus.”

Shanahan said the 49ers will “most likely” activate Robinson from the injured reserve on Saturday, but they’re “not sure” about Hobbs.

Christian McCaffrey and Nick Bosa are off the injury report. Shanahan said Bosa “had a real good week. Excited to have him back.”

Linebackers Garret Wallow andLuke Gifford will return, as will safety Marques Sigle.

After an uncomfortable silence, the questions about Brandon Aiyuk poured in. Like Wednesday, Shanahan didn’t seem too interested in those. He said “no” when asked if he’d be involved in any team meeting involving Aiyuk.

When Shanahan was asked what would happen with Aiyuk, he said, “No clue. Your guess is as good as mine.” When asked what he would like to see happen, Shanahan said, “Could care less.”
