Spoke with Connor Colby about his humbling, "dying-slow" rookie season. And how his demotion helped.

Before Connor Colby was drafted, NFL.com termed his pass blocking "troubling."
As a rookie, it was.
A year later, it's far better.

The #49ers’ list of injuries continues to get longer and, in the latest case, more bizarre.
Nick Bosa could go on IR after straining his calf while doing a high-knees warm-up before Thursday's walkthrough practice.

Of the #49ers who rested yesterday, Christian McCaffrey, Dre Greenlaw and Trent Williams were present during today’s viewing portion. Nick Bosa was not.
Mike Evans (hip) worked off to the side. He did not participate yesterday. We’ll see soon what his designation is for today.

By one measurement, CJ West was the NFL's worst run defender before the #49ers placed him on IR on Wednesday.
How long was he dealing with a knee injury that will now require surgery?

#49ers notes:
* Why had CJ West gone south? Severe knee injury provides context
* Guess who wanted Skattebo?
* Mike Evans sidelined
* Shanahan about to join Walsh
