Coach Kyle Shanahan's San Francisco 49ers are 6-1 on the season and seeking home field throughout the playoffs during a time when John Lynch commented on the “unique” status of Brandon Aiyuk. Teammate Trent Williams also commented on the “uncomfortable” situation ahead of a huge range of injury updates.
Nick Wagoner of ESPN broke the news on four key players ahead of the Raiders game at Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area.
“DE Nick Bosa and RB Christian McCaffrey have no injury designations and are good to go Sunday against the Raiders. Kyle Shanahan says WR Demarcus Robinson will most likely be activated for Sunday. Not sure yet on DB Nate Hobbs.”
Wagoner also noted earlier that WR Mike Evans (Achilles), WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and WR Christian Kirk (knee) were also ruled out.
McCaffrey has played in all seven of the 49ers' games this season and has compiled 84 carries for 389 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. He's also added 251 receiving yards on 34 catches making him one of the NFL's most versatile and deadly offensive weapons.
Bosa has played in just two games this season after playing in just three games last season. He's made it to five Pro Bowls over the course of his NFL career but has been greatly limited because of injury lately. Bosa has been dealing with a calf strain in recent weeks but his comments foreshadowed a return that is now set to come to fruition.
The 49ers will be a decided favorite against the Raiders with two of their biggest stars back in the fold. Coach Shanahan's team has Super Bowl aspirations, and Bosa and McCaffrey are a big part of them.
