MIAMI, Fla. -- The 49ers are healthy heading into Super Bowl LIV. Coach Kyle Shanahan would like to keep them that way.
That’s why he downgraded the typical Thursday padded practice to a less physical session.
“I don’t think they need the pads,” Shanahan said after practice, per the NFC pool report. “I’m trying to make sure we get into the game healthy.”
The entire 53-man roster practiced in the final full-speed session before Sunday’s Super Bowl LIV clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral), running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) were limited as has been usual the past few weeks, but all three are expected to play Sunday.
