NFC West Notes; 49ers, Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks

49ers

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan mentioned that they plan to monitor guards Mike Person and Joshua Garnett this week to see how they respond before making any changes.

“But we’ve got to see how they respond to treatment during the week to kind of have an idea of whether they have a chance this week and, going forward, whether it will be week-to-week after that. Need a few more days to kind of understand that,” Shanahan said, via the East Bay Times.
