The 49ers finish the preseason on Thursday night in Las Vegas against the Raiders and then will take three days off. They will return to practice on Monday, the day after rosters are cut from 90 players to 53, and have three sessions before leaving for Australia late on Sept. 2. San Francisco opens the season on Sept. 11 in Melbourne against the Los Angeles Rams.
"He's doing good," Shanahan said. "I'm hoping that he can get into practice next week."

Quarterback Kurtis Rourke had an impressive debut in the exhibition opener against Tennessee before leaving the game with three broken ribs. Shanahan said he could be ready to return to practice next week.
Receiver Christian Kirk has not practiced since injuring his calf in the first practice of training camp and is among the key players who might not be ready the first month. Other players in that situation include swing tackle Vederian Lowe (ankle), cornerback Nate Hobbs (groin), offensive lineman Brett Toth (concussion) and linebacker Nick Martin (hamstring).
Roster cutdown day is two days earlier than usual this season because the 49ers and Rams are opening the season in Australia.
Defensive end Mykel Williams (knee) and running back Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) are on the physically unable to perform list and could remain there for the first four weeks of the season. A new rule this season allows two players who begin the season on the PUP list to start their practice window after two weeks, allowing them to get some practice in before the four-week period is up.
