The San Francisco 49ers are 2-3 and were on their bye during Week 6's action. They are now in third place and will begin preparing to host the Indianapolis Colts. We still don't know who will be the quarterback in that game. Both Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) and rookie Trey Lance (knee) are dealing with injuries. We'll learn more about their statuses during this week's practices.
The bye week allowed head coach Kyle Shanahan to attend the induction ceremony for his father, Mike Shanahan, into the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame. The elder Shanahan requested the event to take place this weekend so his son could attend.
The Niners lost ground to the leaders in the division. On Sunday, the undefeated Arizona Cardinals knocked off the Cleveland Browns 37-14, remaining in the top spot within the NFC West.
The second-place Los Angeles Rams cruised to a 38-11 victory over the New York Giants and are now 5-1.
San Francisco doesn't face another NFC West opponent until Weeks 9 and 10, when it hosts the Cardinals and Rams in back-to-back games.
