Puni (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills. Puni underwent an MRI for a shoulder injury he likely picked up in Week 12 against the Packers. The injury doesn't appear to be overly concerning, and after logging a full practice Friday, Puni is set to start at right guard Sunday.
Puni (shoulder) will undergo an MRI this week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Puni assumingly picked up a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to the Packers. Although Lombardi doesn't make it clear, the rookie guard will likely undergo the MRI on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that it would be difficult to take away the starting right guard spot from Puni as the regular season approaches, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Puni was selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The rookie out of Kansas is currently slated as the No. 3 right guard on the 49ers' unofficial depth chart behind Spencer Burford and Jon Feliciano. However, with the endorsement of Shanahan, it appears the starting job is Puni's to lose.
