Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he's hopeful Bourne (reserve/COVID-19 list) will be able to practice later this week, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Bourne recently began his second term on the list, but the 49ers seemingly are confident that the latest stint was merely the result of false positives and not an actual bout with the coronavirus. While he'll have to be activated from the aforementioned list in order to get back on the field, he does have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans.
