@LombardiHimselfJimmie Ward allowed just 3.3 yards per target into his pass coverage and logged a team-high 94.7 run defense grade for the 49ers. He is a star and just what the 49ers needed to complete their defense at the nickelback position

@LombardiHimselfT.Y. McGill is going to be key for a 49ers' DT position navigating Givens, Ridgeway and Hyder injury issues. Snap counts for McGill over the weeks...at LAR: 7vs LAC: 8at AZ: 21vs NO: 19vs TB: 34****McGill delivered 2 pressures in his highest-usage game. Huge for SF

@LombardiHimselfAnd the 49ers' defense registered a 19-pressure performance against a QB in Tom Brady who was aiming to release the ball very quickly.Look how balanced it was from D-line (PFF):Omenihu: 2Bosa: 2Ebukam: 2Willis: 2T.Y. McGill: 2Armstead: 2Hyder Jr.: 2Jackson: 1Givens: 1

Profile
@LombardiHimselfRobust performance from the 49ers' O-line vs Tampa. They only allowed 4 total pressures (PFF) against a Todd Bowles defense that blitzed on 9 of 21 drop backs...Jake Brendel: 2Trent Williams: 1Mike McGlinchey: 1Brock Purdy obviously gets credit, too

@jenniferleechan#49ers Kyle Shanahan shared that the goal for DL Javon Kinlaw to return was always after the Seattle game. They will assess the situation after on Monday to consider opening up his practice window.

@TracyFGSNKyle Shanahan said the goal for Javon Kinlaw is to have him return to practice after the Seattle game. They'll see where he is on Monday. #49ers

@nwagoner#49ers a bit thin at DT but Javon Kinlaw could be back soon. Kyle Shanahan said the goal has been to open his practice window AFTER the Seattle game. They'll evaluate it Monday with hopes of that happening then.

@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers' goal for Javon Kinlaw to return to practice is next week after the Seattle game

@Eric_BranchKyle Shanahan: Said DT Kevin Givens (knee) will likely miss some time; #49ers are hoping he has MCL injury.
-
Profile
@TracyFGSNKyle Shanahan said the hope with DT Kevin Givens is that it's a MCL, but they don't know yet. He said it will "probably be a little bit."#49ers
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfOptimism re: Kerry Hyder's injury Shanahan thinks he could've re-entered a closer game but the 49ers fear a more serious injury for Kevin Givens. Shanahan hoping it's just an MCL for Givens, which probably threatens to keep him out for the season
-
Profile
@nwagoner#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan says the injury to DT Kevin Givens is "probably gonna be a little bit." The hope is it's an MCL but still awaiting word on severity.

@Eric_BranchKyle Shanahan said he has no injury updates: A host of players that include WR Deebo Samuel (ankle) and QB Brock Purdy (oblique) are in process of getting MRIs. #49ers

@CamInman#49ers Kyle Shanahan awaiting on MRI results. On QB Purdy:"It was a challenge for him, just talking to him and seeing him after the game. He toughed it out and did good things with it. I know hes sore today. Hopefully the MRI is good and will give him a chance to play Thursday"

@MaioccoNBCS#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan ruled out Sam Womack from participating in Thursday's game due to a concussion.Shanahan has no updates on any of the injuries, such as Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy, as they are all getting their imaging done right now at Stanford Hospital.

Profile
@TracyFGSNPer Kyle Shanahan, no one is back from their MRIs yet, so no real injury updates. Samuel Womack is in the concussion protocol and will not be available Thursday. Everyone should be in around noon. #49ers

@jenniferleechanNo #49ers injury updates from Kyle Shanahan as all the injured players are still having more testing done.

@LombardiHimselfNo MRI results for the 49ers yet. SF will get them around noon today, so nothing new on Deebo Samuel or Brock Purdy yet.All players getting MRIs are still at Stanford Hospital

@nwagoner#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan does not have any updated injury information yet as most injured players are still getting tests done. Shanahan said the hope is to get results in the next couple of hours.

@MaioccoNBCSWhen the #49ers drafted Brock Purdy, the closest comp was Nick Mullens. And, sure enough, the two had eerily similar first NFL starts.To read: nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/br...

@Eric_BranchWhat a few of Brock Purdy's college teammates mentioned last week: As a true freshman, he led 2-3 Iowa State to a beatdown (30-14) of No. 6 West Virginia in his first college start. sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a... #49ers

Profile
@LombardiHimselfWhat's more: 49ers had attained their sky-high efficiency scores without an elite run game until yesterday.The run game turned back the clock to 2019. Kittle and Juszczyk pull blocks were especially lethal. Maybe SF has firmly turned the corner on the ground? Scary if yes
-
Profile
@nwagonerIn small sample, it looks like #49ers really have something with Jordan Mason. He's averaging 2.69 yards per carry AFTER contact, which would be best in the NFL if qualified. Also averaging 2 yards per carry over expectation.Punishing finisher complements McCaffrey well.
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfThe way the 49ers used Jordan Mason (second half) reminded me of how they used Elijah Mitchell against Arizona in Mexico City. Christian McCaffrey was the first half back in both cases and then Mitchell/Mason came in with fresh legs. Mason is more of a bruiser. Good vs tired Ds

@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers are favored by 3.5 points over the Seahawks for Thursday night's game

Profile
@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers might be on a 1994-like tear (after the 40-8 Philly loss). Here's their 2022 DVOA after the loss to the Chiefs (6 games):1. 49ers: 61.4%2. Eagles: 39.6%3. Chiefs: 25.7%4. Ravens: 25.5%5. Cowboys: 24.4%

Profile
@nwagonerA #49ers win on Thursday would do the following: -- Clinch the NFC West Division-- Ensure they could be no worse than No. 3 seed in NFC-- Keep them in mix for No. 2 seed. MIN holds 1-game lead but win against SEA would move SF to 8-2 in NFC (first tiebreaker). MIN is 6-3.

Profile
@LombardiHimselfIf the 49ers win at Seattle on Thursday, not only will they have won the NFC West, they will have gone over 2 months without a loss

@nwagoner#49ers' NFL best streak of 39 straight games with a sack came to an end yesterday. Blame Tom Brady. Brady has an NFL best time to release of 2.47 seconds. It was a bit higher Sunday but still coming out quick.
-
Profile
@nwagonerOne more thing on special teams improvement that has flown under radar a bit: #49ers P Mitch Wishnowsky has dropped 26.1% of his punts inside the opponent's 10-yard line this year. That's second-best in the NFL. And 52.2% of his punts inside the 20, which is best in NFL by ~4%.
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfIf you're complaining about Deebo Samuel as a RB, you're complaining about the 49ers' 200-plus yard rushing performance. Shanahan uses position-less versatility to create numbers matchups. And he must keep Samuel's runs diversified so defense isn't sitting outside or inside
-
Profile
@nwagoner#49ers RB Christian McCaffrey mentioned multiple times how good OL was Sunday. He's not wrong.Team had 64.3% pass block win rate (second best this season), led by LT Trent Williams at 100%. Brock Purdy had hand in that with his ability to evade blitzes but 0 sacks allowed.
