Ron Rivera says that team is hopeful about getting RG Trai Turner back this week but they want to be careful since high ankle sprains are so fickle. Adds that LT Greg Little is still progressing through the concussion protocol.

Shouldn’t be at all surprising that Kyle Allen will start again this week. Cam Newton returning to practice – if that happens this week, still TBD – is just the first step in the process for his return to a game.

If he announced this on Monday Cam maybe more hurt than we thought

[Bartin]

Not surprising that Kyle will start. A little surprising they are saying this on Monday. Indicates to me that the Titans game is in doubt as well. Cam potentially making his come back at Lambeau?

[MVPccaffrey]

For a coach who notoriously drags his feet in giving direct answers, Rivera certainly has been johnny on the spot to quickly announce each week that Kyle is the guy.  Hmmm.

[LinvilleGorge]

I would've sat on that. I would've at least made the 49ers consider the possibility that Cam might play for a little longer 

[CRA]

only thing of interest to me is Turner and Jackson.  Hope we get them both back. 

Little probably should call it a season IMO.

Does kinda lend some credence to that aspect of LaCanfora's report...

I've been thinking from the beginning, that just like the shoulder when it started, he needed surgery.  I wouldn't be surprised if he plays the rest of the season with the foot as-is, and then has surgery on it this offseason.

Regardless, I'm hoping the rest has him to at least 95%...

To be fair, I don't really think that was gonna fool anybody.
