The 49ers were supposed to have a normal week of practice in the Bye week ahead of Super Bowl LIV. They opted not to have a practice Wednesday, but still had to release an estimated participation report.
There weren’t any surprises on that report.
Tevin Coleman dislocated his shoulder in the NFC championship game. He may be back for the Super Bowl, but he would not have practiced Wednesday.
The trio of Kwon Alexander, Jaquiski Tartt and Dee Ford all would’ve been limited.
Alexander is still easing his way back in after returning from a torn pectoral two weeks ago. He played 25 snaps in the divisional round vs. the Vikings, and 20 in the NFC championship game. He may not have a full practice during the Bye or in the week leading up to the game in an effort to ensure he’s healthy.
Tartt had what Shanahan described as an irritation in the ribs he injured in Week 13 against the Ravens. Tartt missed the final four games, but played every snap in the first two playoff games. His limited participation shouldn’t be a huge concern moving forward.
Ford is in a similar spot to the other two. He’s recovering from a hamstring injury, and additional full work probably isn’t necessary for the pass rush specialist. He may get some full practices in before Super Bowl LIV, but the team will want to be certain he can play.
There was a minor ankle injury for Dre Greenlaw in the NFC championship, but it wouldn’t have hindered him in practice. He was listed as a full participant.
Here’s the full participation report:

RB Tevin Coleman (shoulder)
