After opening practice window for DT C.J. West, the #49ers are down to three available injured reserve activations of the eight they get for the regular season.
Here's the breakdown:
Designated to return/activated/returned to practice -- WR Demarcus Robinson, WR Christian Kirk, DB Nate Hobbs, West
Designated to return/not activated or returned to practice yet: OL Austen Pleasants
WR De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is the only one on IR right now who they will definitely open the window for assuming his recovery goes as hoped.
There are other possibilities but that's where things stand as of Wednesday night.
CJ West shook DeForest Bucknerโs hand when he got traded and wanted to let him know that #99 was his number.
He didnโt even ask for anything in return.
Keenan Allen's past ~24 hours have included..
-News that the 49ers traded for him
-A flight from Indy to SFO that landed around 11 pm
-A 5:45 a.m. physical
-Learning Shanahan's playbook
-Practice
Allen: "So I'm running on pure energy right now. 7-1."
Kyle Shanahan talks about how Jordan Watkins never complained about not getting playing time and that he kept his head down and kept grinding at practices, which eventually led to his opportunity on GameDay
No practice today for 49ers' cornerbacks Renardo Green (back) and Deommodore Lenoir (foot), who remain day-to-day. Obviously something to watch very closely this week with the Cowboys and their WR weapons โย CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens
Newly acquired Keenan Allen has the temporary jersey No. 15, which is worn by punter Corliss Waitman. It seems with Christian Kirk on IR that No. 3 would be a legitimate option for Allen.
Jerry Rice was asked his thoughts on the 49ers trading for Keenan Allen:
โWe should win the whole thing. Thatโs all I have to say. What we have in the receiver room, and if we can get these guys all healthy at the same time, it should be a no-brainer.โ
Rice goes on to say the connection between Brock Purdy and Keenan will be a match made in heaven
