**49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Provides Injury Updates, Contemplates Kicker Replacement**

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided a series of injury updates during a Friday afternoon conference call. Although the team faces no significant new injuries, they might consider bringing in another kicker as they wait for Matthew Wright's MRI results. Wright's shoulder was dislocated, according to Shanahan, though he noted, "Came out for a little bit. We just need more info." With a chance of playing in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Wright's status remains uncertain. Shanahan acknowledged, "Now, we have to look into someone else," if Wright is unable to participate.

Additionally, safety Malik Mustapha managed to avoid a severe high-ankle sprain, which often keeps players sidelined for weeks. Instead, he sustained a low ankle sprain and is currently day-to-day. Running back Jordan Mason also received some positive news with an AC sprain in his left shoulder, rendering him day-to-day as well. This development is seen as good news for the 49ers.

Shanahan provided limited details regarding Christian McCaffrey's recovery timeline but noted McCaffrey is "continuing to improve." The head coach appeared slightly vexed by repeated inquiries about the Offensive Player of the Year, emphasizing that McCaffrey would not be available this week.

On a more positive note, rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is set to have his practice window opened and will practice on Monday. When asked about Pearsall's potential participation against the Chiefs, Shanahan stated, "Most likely, it'd be a longer ramp-up period. We're not going to rush it or anything. If he's ready, he's ready. If not, we got a few weeks."

Defensive tackle Jordan Elliott is expected to return to practice following time off due to a knee injury. Meanwhile, cornerback Charavrius Ward remains day-to-day with his knee issue.

As the 49ers prepare for their upcoming game against the Chiefs, these updates provide some clarity on the team's roster and potential adjustments.
