San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with the media ahead of Wednesday’s practice. The team released safety Tony Jefferson to make room for newly signed running back Brian Hill.
Starting running back, Elijah Mitchell had an MRI on his knee and is dealing with some “irritation,” per Shanahan. That’s a new injury, but we’ve mentioned it as the hit Mitchell suffered when he sustained a concussion — he’s still in the protocol — looked like something happened on his lower body, too. Mitchell will not practice Wednesday.
Mitchell is day-to-day, as is Deebo Samuel, who Shanahan is hoping returns to practice Thursday.
