German_Force » The San Francisco 49ers wrap up their brief break today

http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-mcglinchey-jersey , heading back to the practice field on Tuesday. The 49ers beat the Oakland Raiders on Thursday Night Football, and then the players got the next four days off. The football communications staff announced the media availability schedule for the next two days. The 49ers will practice at 10:40 a.m. on Tuesday, and have locker room availability after practice. There will be no media availability on Wednesday.The 49ers are playing the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, which means their normal practice week is Thursday, Friday, Saturday. This is thrown off a bit by the TNF game giving them some extra time off, but it appears head coach Kyle Shanahan’s next media availability will be Thursday afternoon before practice.I mention that because we are still awaiting word from the 49ers as to their starting quarterback. Ian Rapoport and Jay Glazer both said over the weekend that it sounds like Nick Mullens will get the start against the Giants. Shanahan said on Friday he wanted to wait until the players return from their break to make his decision and discuss it with his quarterbacks. It would seem likely the starter will know early on Tuesday what the plan is.If Shanahan was holding media availability on Tuesday, then he might announce the starter then. However, with no coach media availability but still having locker room availability, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 49ers announced something in some form or fashion. It seems like it would be a little weird not to announce anything publicly when you have potentially already had a conversation with your players. My guess is we know something official by the end of Tuesday.NaVorro Bowman remains unsigned When the San Francisco 49ers released NaVorro Bowman a few weeks into the 2017 season Tevin Coleman Jersey , you could hear the collective gasp from the fanbase. Despite one gruesome knee injury, and later an achilles rupture, Bowman continued to be the heart and soul of the 49ers, holding the team together with the departures of Frank Gore and Patrick Willis. Bowman signed with the Oakland Raiders not too long after his release, contributed on their defense almost immediately and went into 2018 a free agent. And now, one year later, Bowman remains unsigned. It was a bit concerning to not see him snapped up when free agency began, but understandable for a veteran with Bowman’s to come in long after training camp begins. It wouldn’t be too far-fetched to assume he may catch onto a team on their way to a 53 man roster. He’s had some visits, but as we are now into Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season and there’s nary a word. Keep in mind, this is the guy who combined with Patrick Willis to make two of the best middle linebackers in the NFL for multiple years. A three-time Pro Bowler. Teams should want Bowman Arik Armstead Jersey , right?Well, not now, perhaps.The Bowman decision was polarizing with fans. Some knew he wasn’t in the long-term plans of John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan and felt it best he be released. Others wondered if the release, as well as the events leading up to the release were the correct decisions. Bowman began getting less playing time as Robert Saleh’s 4-3 defense demanded a different style of play than Bowman was used to. Once Bowman got frustrated, the 49ers did him a favor. Now the 49ers have Reuben Foster (who returns in Week 3) and Fred Warner as the new linebacking duo. Warner has already drawn comparisons to Bowman, so it’s safe to say the 49ers may not be looking back. Steve Young said that Bill Walsh would have a philosophy of getting players off the team a year before it was too late. It’s been documented that this rubbed several players the wrong way, but it was also necessary to maintain a competitive roster. Given that Bowman remains unsigned into 2018, do you think it corroborates the 49ers decision to release him?
