Packers WR Davante Adams was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list.

Players who are vaccinated must have two negative tests 24 hours apart to be activated. As we reported earlier today, the Packers are in advanced COVID protocol because of DC Joe Barry who tested positive. The Packers travel to the Cardinals on Thursday night and as a result of all this, Adams' status is now very much up in the air on a short week for this key NFC showdown. There could be more Packers popping up on this list, so this is worth monitoring very closely over the next few days.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked if Jimmy Garoppolo would start again in Week 8 against the Bears.

“I would guess so,” Shanahan said, via Jennifer Lee Chan of NBCSportsBayArea.com. “I will watch this tape and see if guys are healthy, first of all, and know where our guys are at. It was good for Jimmy to get healthy enough to play in this game today.”

While it doesn't seem like a confident answer, the story did say Shanahan added that he didn’t see “a ton of bad decisions” from Garoppolo. But the story added there weren’t enough good things either and that will keep questions about the quarterback spot front and center for the 49ers. It could be an interesting decision when Lance is healthy enough to play.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) will start Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. QB Trey Lance (knee) will not be active.

Do not expect a lot from Garoppolo if the weather is as bad as it sounds, including torrential rain.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday, while Trey Lance (knee) did not participate. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan wants to limit Garoppolo so he can be a full-go Sunday against the Colts.

It looks like Jimmy G is the go-to QB for now, but Lance, when healthy, will have his plays.

According to multiple reporters at the team’s Monday practice session, Jimmy Garoppolo was on the field but Trey Lance was not.

The 49ers will not issue an injury report until Wednesday, so they don’t have to share either player’s participation level on Monday, the story said. Garoppolo is dealing with a calf injury while Lance has a knee injury. Before the team's bye, the Niners said they expected Jimmy G to be ready for Week 7 and at this point he seems on track.

During a Tuesday appearance on KNBR, Kyle Shanahan said he believes Jimmy Garoppolo will be healthy enough to play in Week 7 against the Colts.

“I mean, he’s doing good,” Shanahan said, via 49ersWebZone.com. “We’ll see when we get back [after the bye week]. I think he’ll be ready to go next week when we get back. That’s the plan. I know he’s doing a lot better now than he was last week.”

Lance is dealing with a knee sprain he suffered while playing in place of Garoppolo in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. The team says Garoppolo will start again when healthy. The Niners have a bye in Week 6.

Kyle Shanahan says Trey Lance doesn't know when he injured knee. He had 16 carries. Prognosis: NOT a long-term injury, should be 1 to 2 week thing, but possibly just one week.

Jimmy Garoppolo may have better chance to return post-bye for Colts game but all TBD.

It's being called a left knee sprain, according to Inman. The 49ers have a bye in Week 6 and return to play the Colts in Week 7. The bad news is it's a Sunday night game, so owners will need a backup plan if they are counting on Lance or Garoppolo in Week 7. We likely won't know much more until next week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo missed Thursday's practice with a calf injury,

This marks two straight DNP's for Garoppolo. It is looking more and more like it will be Trey Lance under center this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals. There is still a chance Garoppolo practices tomorrow and tries to make a go of it against Arizona, so fantasy managers will want to monitor Friday's injury report before making plans to start Lance this weekend. Lance is currently our 14th ranked quarterback for Week 5.

As part of a mailbag question, someone asked what the game plan would look like with Trey Lance under center.

I expect it will be a “Back to the Future”-type situation for Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniel, who had rookies at quarterback (Robert Griffin III) and running back (Alfred Morris) when they were assistants in Washington in 2012. That team led the NFL in rushing and went to the playoffs. Morris finished with 1,613 rushing yards and Griffin with 815 yards.

The story said the one big difference is Lance attempted 318 passes at North Dakota State while Griffin attempted 1,192 throws at Baylor, which points more to a run-heavy attack. Anther issue is Sermon has only been OK as a runner over two games, and even if Mitchell returns from a shoulder injury, he's a rookie as well, so there are a lot of questions with the run game. The Niners do have the luxury of a bye in Week 6.
