December 16, 2019 Head coach Kyle Shanahan chimed in on the topic during his Tuesday press conference.
Lots of questions on Kwon Alexander returning this season following his pectoral tear.Kyle Shanahan said Kwon is like Sherm. He was ready to return the week after his injury.Shanahan said he won't rule him out, but it's a "long shot."#49ers
