On the off chance that, true to form, Mitchell misses a touch of time, Shanahan communicated trust in Bricklayer and tenderfoot Tyrion Davis-Value, who was a pregame idle, to assist with getting a move on. The Niners' confidence in that couple was clear in their exchange cutoff time bargain sending Jeff Wilson Jr. to the Miami Dolphins, who incidentally turn out to be next on the Niners' timetable.
"I think JP (Bricklayer) came in there and did a truly great job there toward the end," Shanahan said. "They had everyone up there attempting to stop the run, and I think you all perceived how unyielding he is and the way in which he ran it and had the option to keep us out there on the field and not give it back ... Then, at that point, Ty, we've been needing to get Ty up."
Around two minutes after Mitchell's physical issue, the 49ers barely kept away from one more misfortune to their backfield when Holy people cautious lineman Malcolm Cockroach hit quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on his lower left leg as Garoppolo terminated a pass to recipient Brandon Aiyuk.

"It's football, yet you must be brilliant as players, pay special attention to each other," Garoppolo said. "There's a bad situation for that. I'm okay, somewhat sore yet nothing terrible."
Shanahan demonstrated that Garoppolo appeared to emerge from the game alright however he would draw nearer examination on Monday morning to guarantee there wasn't any significant wounds to his quarterback.
"He endured a few shots today," Shanahan said. "I have nothing precisely on him. Yet, I know he's sorer than expected. Along these lines, we'll really look at him up in here and perceive how he is tomorrow. He had a very gutty execution."
Despite the fact that youngster reinforcement Brock Purdy heated up momentarily, Garoppolo remained in the game and completed 26-of-37 for 221 yards and a score.
