Update on Rashid Shahid and other injuries from Mike Macdonald's conference call on Wednesday

Coach Mike McDonald's injury update from Wednesday's press conference.

After traveling a day ago, they returned to full practice on Wednesday, which in preparation, was as usual on Thursday in preparation for Saturday night's game against the 49ers.

It includes exercise among people.The teacher said he was geed Rahed;But that's the episode's signature.

“As far as I know he trained today,” Macdonald said."In what capacity, I can't tell you, but he should be there."

If Shaheed can't play, he will look for players who can step up at receiver and back.

Asked what he would expect from the actors playing the big roles in that scene, Macdonald said."Come in and play great football for us. I feel like we have a deep receiver room and guys that have played big times from training camp to now. That's what we expect. We have really good players."

Macdonald also gave some details on the injury to tackle Josh Jones, who played a little bit in Sunday's game, but who was listed as absent on the second injury report due to groin and ankle injuries.Jones, who started in place of the injured Charles Cross, is "just a little shaken up" Macdonald said, and should play on Saturday.

"Josh can play, he will play," McDonald said."If Charles gets better and can play, he will play. If not, we have other guys who can play."

MacDonald said Croes will not practice Wednesday, but did not rule out the possibility of playing against the 49ers.

"Some things have to happen before he can play," MacDonald."I'd say there's a non-zero chance he'll play, but we'll see."

Cross, who missed two games with a hamstring injury, was one of two players who missed last week's game along with Coby Bryant, who suffered a knee injury.

Asked if Bryant was improving, McDonald said: "Kobe is getting better. He's not going to practice today, he did a walk-through. Again, we'll see. I know those guys work like crazy, but after Friday football (Thursday), he's probably going to have to do something before the game starts."
