Happy day after Thanksgiving! I suppose we can call it Happy Black Friday? The San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals both got in Thanksgiving practice, albeit a bit earlier than normal so the players could get home for Thanksgiving. The teams have one more practice on Friday, and we'll get the final injury report at that point.
The big news is that Ahmad Brooks and Carlos Hyde both sat out practice again. Brooks is going through the concussion protocol, and Friday's practice report will tell us a lot. If he is a DNP he won't play on Sunday. If he is limited, he would be a game-time decision pending a contact test, and if he is having any symptoms on game day.
It's safe to say Hyde will not play this week, which means another start for Shaun Draughn. The big question remains if he see Hyde back at some point. The team cannot get Mike Davis back off short term IR until late December. For now, Draughn, Travaris Cadet and Kendall Gaskins are the three running back options. Do you think we see Hyde play again this season?
