Good morning! The San Francisco 49ers are through their first day of on-field practices, as they prepare for their Week 13 matchup with the Chicago Bears. One question that remains unanswered is the status of center Daniel Kilgore. The team has until Monday to activate him from the PUP list. If they do not activate him by Monday, they have to place him on season-ending injured reserve.
If the team wants to have his services on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, they have to activate him by 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Kilgore spoke with the media on Wednesday, and he said he is ready to go, but has not gotten word what the plan is. He made a good point about wanting to have something to build on heading into the offseason. And considering all the work he put in, if his ankle is 100 percent, it makes sense
