Linebacker
Dre Greenlaw briefly exited the NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions with a stinger but was able to continue playing. Wide receiver
Jauan Jennings was evaluated for a concussion but was cleared to return.
Apart from that, the only other injury mentioned by head coach Kyle Shanahan in his post-game press conference was to cornerback
Ambry Thomas, who suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. At the time, Shanahan didn't provide any further details. However, the coach offered an update on Monday while speaking to reporters via a conference call.
Thomas is considered day-to-day with his ankle injury, which seems unlikely to put his Super Bowl availability into question.
Shanahan added that tight end
George Kittle emerged with a toe injury and is also considered day-to-day.
The 49ers will take the next couple of days before practicing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Next week, they will travel to Las Vegas ahead of the team's February 11 Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium. San Francisco enters the game in relatively good health.

49ers' Dre Greenlaw on whether Super Bowl practice fields led to injury, rehab status
Dre Greenlaw initially thought someone had stepped on his foot as he returned to the football field during Super Bowl 58. The idea that he had suffered a severe injury didn't cross his mind.

Ultimately, the 49ers lost Super Bowl 58 to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, a devastating defeat for Greenlaw, who watched from the sidelines as
Ian Rapoport sends clear message regarding 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel
One thing is clear: Ian Rapoport expects Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel to be on the San Francisco 49ers roster when the team takes the field in Week 1 of the 2024 season. At this point, most probably feel that way. The fact that both stayed with the team throughout the draft clearly signals that general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan intend to retain their two talented receivers—at least for one more season.
"Week 1 of 2024, it looks like they both will be [on the roster]," Rapoport told guest host Tom Pelissero on "The Rich Eisen Show."
However, nothing in the NFL is ever certain.
"Now, look, crazy things can happen," Rapoport continued. "Someone loses a star receiver, they decide to give the 49ers something of value for this
