good evening. the seahawks and packers, here comes the cavalry for the 49ers. they have been decimated by injuries since week one. as they get ready for the clash on sunday, the offense might, might be boosted by the return

of tevin coleman and williams, all three have been dealing with knee injuries, not clear if they will be healthy enough to play in seattle. we'll see. meanwhile, coach shanahan talked about one of his techniques in practice where he, the coach, lines up at quarterback. >> football is very fun when those guys can't hit you. so sitting in the pocket with no pass rush and watching guys have play zone when i don't have to worry about the d line and i can try some no look throws and things like that that you would never try with a d line coming at ya, but gives me some false confidence and always fun to mess with those guys. >> he comes into your office sometimes and you're going over the video of your throws, is that what you're doing? going over your throws? >> i mean, only for teaching purposes, you know. no, i do enjoy it. i love getting a chance to play sports. i don't get to do it much anymore. i'm not good at it anymore. playing quarterback, you cannot show how slow you are and

everything. >> tim of the athletic asking questions. while the niners are getting healthier, chris carson hurt his foot this past sunday. originally listed week to week and pete carroll says he's a game time decision and both of carson's backups for seattle are banged up, as well. dez bryant has the first workout as the baltimore ravins today. he's on the practice squad. he's been out of the league for a couple years but if you follow him on instagram, dez is in great shape. bryant was a star at the age of 32. they hope he still has juice left to help the struggling offense. what is major league baseball going to do to punish just were turner, the dodger's first baseman violated numerous protocols with covid-19 when he came to celebrate the dodgers winning the world series despite testing positive for the coronavirus. turner was pulled out of the game in the seventh inning when his second positive test came back, he was supposed to stay in isolation but couldn't resist

the temptation to come celebrate and taking off his mask for the photo. mlb is investigating saying turner emphatically refused to stay in quarantine, a selfish move but his teammates didn't mind. >> i think for him being a free agent, not knowing how the future is going to play out, i don't think there was anyone that was going to stop him from going out. i think he was mindful of other people especially other people that he hadn't already been in contact with. >> if i could switch places with him right now, i would. that man more than anybody deserves to take a picture with that trophy, celebrate with us, have his family around and enjoy this moment and, you know, that got taken away from him and that's just not right. that doesn't sit well with me. >> see if there is any sanctions coming. the nba trying to figure out when to start next season. there were rumors of pushing back until february of 2021 to get fans in the stands. that's unlikely. christmastime was floated by the

league but a report says today star players are pushing to begin on january 18th, 2021. that would give teams that made the playoffs deep play-off runs more time to recover from the season that stretched into october. what an anniversary for the legend, al attles made his debut 60 years ago today. he's been with the warriors as a player, coach, front office. 60 years, the longest stint with the single franchise in nba history. and everybody loves al attles. close the loop on the dodgers, dan, ama, major league baseball dodged a huge bullet. imagine if they played game seven and turner got half the dodgers infected. who knows what they would have done. they lucked out. >> but players want to go home to their families and he's exposing people. >> tough spot. thanks very much. >> all right. joins us for abc 7 news at
