In a report by ESPN's Nick Wagoner, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan reported that the two-time first-team All-Pro tight end would be returning to practice this upcoming week as the team prepares for a Sunday night matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.

It’s a feat that Moody never accomplished in his two years, plus one awful game, with San Francisco after being drafted in the third round in 2023. He missed the only buzzer-beating chance he got with the Niners in a road game at Cleveland in 2023 and was cut after missing two field goals in Week 1 this season.

The 49ers were without Nick Bosa, Brandon Aiyuk, Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall and Kittle on Sunday against the Bucs, and they ended up losing star linebacker Fred Warner to a season-ending ankle injury during that game.

Not long after nearly losing a fumble on a sack, Mac Jones finally unravels for the 49ers, tossing a deep pick to Jamel Dean that just might seal a home victory for Tampa Bay, which is getting heroic stuff from its own gunslinger in Baker Mayfield:

George Kittle, who has been on IR since Week 2 with a strained hamstring, will return to practice this week. Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) also could get back in the practice mix this week.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday said "too many assumptions" shouldn't be made about his heated exchange with receiver Jauan Jennings.

An NBC Sports Bay Area story published Monday that alleged San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk had deleted all references to the team on social media was quickly — and quietly — edited once it was proved to be false.
