The 49ers returned to practice Wednesday, but were without a couple of starters, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The following three players did not practice:
WR Deebo Samuel
WR Jauan Jennings
LB Dre Greenlaw
Greenlaw remains out with a lower-ankle injury. If Dre sits out this week, Oren Burks likely takes his spot in nickel situations. We could also see more five defensive linemen looks on the field at once, with Fred Warner as the lone linebacker.
Deebo remained out with sore ribs, but Shanahan said that Samuel also has some knee issues.
