The tweet went on to say HC Kyle Shanahan said, "It wasn’t as bad as we thought it might have been. Today he’s in a lot of pain and still sore. Wednesday if it’s getter better, he has a good chance." Earlier today there was a report that Garoppolo said the injury felt like someone stepped on his calf. He wasn't able to play in the second half in Week 4, giving way to Lance. Reports earlier today said Garoppolo could miss a couple weeks. The Niners do have a bye in Week 6.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
