49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw‘s performance:
“We were real happy for him. We kept most of our– I think all of our starters out. But Javon, we wanted to play him tonight, just because we’re traveling on Wednesday and it’s gonna be short. So, we thought it’d be safer to get his playing time tonight rather than next week. He did an awesome job and took advantage of it.”
Shanahan on Kinlaw’s health:
“He’s just healthy. He hasn’t been healthy since the Dallas game in 2020… He was in great shape last year, but his knee bothered him. So this year, he’s even better and he’s feeling good and we’re trying to keep that up”

“I was glad to see Drake. I mean, he’s doing some good things. I was glad to see him play out there, play a lot more than he did last week. And from what I hear so far, get through the game healthy.”
Shanahan on cornerback Ambry Thomas being inactive in tonight’s game:
“He tried to go. He worked out before the game and did everything he could to go, so we appreciate him for that. But he wasn’t able to and hopefully he’ll be able to go against Houston.”
Shanahan on running back Tyrion Davis-Price and Jordan Mason‘s production in the second half:
“They did a good job. We struggled to get a lot going in the run game consistently, but it was nice to be able to run out the clock a little bit in the second half, and especially that fourth quarter.”
Shanahan on the quarterback rotation in tonight’s game:
“Brock Purdy has done a good job every time he’s gotten his opportunity. I thought Nate Sudfeld did some real good things tonight and last week too. But I like both those guys and we’ll see how it finishes up.”
Shanahan on offensive lineman Alfredo Gutierrez earning the game ball:
“We were able to run a couple plays and Alfredo went in there, we ran power to him. We ran a bounce play there where we tossed and got outside of him and led on it and got a first down. We…
