Golden Nuggets: Jimmie Ward, welcome to the club

49ers Injury Updates: Star trio could return

“Jimmie Ward, meanwhile, was his usual funny self. He showed off a good, old-fashioned club wrap on his broken left hand. He said there’s still pain, but that while he expects to be cleared by Sunday....He joked that it would be tough for referees to call defensive pass interference on him.”

49ers’ Nick Bosa ‘pretty optimistic’ he’ll be ready for rematch with Chiefs (paywall)

“I feel really good,” the defensive end said about his groin injury before practice. “I’ve gotta get into the practice week and see how it feels, but I’m pretty optimistic.”

Kyle Shanahan provides 49ers injury updates on Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, others; Jason Verrett ‘good to go’ for practice

Christian McCaffrey trade offers: Could 49ers, Bills or Rams get him from Panthers? (paywall)

“The 49ers offer one of their 2023 third-round compensatory selections (they have two) and a fourth-round pick for McCaffrey.

But McCaffrey played in only 10 games the past two seasons, so the injury-plagued 49ers cannot justify offering more draft capital for him than that — especially because they may only be interested in one season from him (more on that below).”
