The 49ers have three notable player-status updates ahead of their game against the Dolphins. Wide receiver De'Shaun Stribling has been ruled out with an ankle injury, while running back Kaelon Black is questionable because of a groin issue.
Kicker Eddy Piñeiro is also questionable, with the team citing an illness. Coach Kyle Shanahan said San Francisco plans to add a kicker to its practice squad Saturday as a precaution. The team is considering two candidates, but Shanahan said it has not decided which player to sign.
When asked about Black's chances of playing, Shanahan described his optimism as "a questionable amount of optimism." sports.yahoo.com reported the player updates Sept. 18, 2026.
