0:00.0	Good morning and welcome to 49ers in 5, your daily update on everything happening with the team that you need to know.
0:14.0	I'm Rob Stats Guerrera. Today is Thursday, November 6th, 2025. Here's what's happening with your San Francisco 49ers. We'll get to Kyle Shanahan at the
0:23.7	podium, but first we begin, as always, with the injury report. Only one player did not participate
0:29.5	in practice yesterday. That was wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. Tatum Bethune, Jake Brendle,
0:35.9	Bryce Huff, Brock Purdy, and Dee Winters were all limited.
0:39.6	Winters is on the injury report with the Mack Jones-esque knee, knee.
0:44.1	So that's always encouraging.
0:45.8	One player, of course, that was not on the injury report is Brandon Ayuk, who still has not had his practice window opened.
0:53.7	Kyle Shanahan offered this disturbing update yesterday.

1:14.3	And we talk about it being week to week right now.
1:16.4	So still wait until he's ready.
1:18.9	So he's, quote, pretty confident that Ayyuk is going to at least have his practice window opened.
1:24.9	That is not encouraging at all.
1:27.1	If you can't even say for sure that his practice
1:30.0	window is going to get opened, I don't think we're going to be seeing Brandon Ayuk on the field
1:34.9	this season. I think he is going to be kept under wraps. And ultimately, I think he is going to be
1:40.0	traded for pennies on the dollar this off season so the 49ers can get out from having to pay
1:45.4	the contract that they have told everyone they absolutely hate. As for trades, the 49ers
