HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES
(On if S Ryan Neal is the only player ruled out for Sunday)
"Ryan is the only one out right now."
(On if he feels good about CB Josh Hayes being able to play)
"Yeah, he'll be fine."
(On how much it helps having DBs Christian Izien and Dee Delaney being able to play safety)
"It helps having depth. Those guys can play multiple positions, so it gives us some flexibility to carry other people. Those guys are very heady football players, so it helps."
(On what he's seen from Delaney)
"He's a ballhawk. He's a ballhawk. He understands the scheme, he can see the ball very well wherever he's at. He can move around a lot and give us some flexibility to do some things."
(On how many adjustments need to be made for a longer trip out to the West Coast)
"Not many if you're playing the next day [with] the time we're leaving and waking up. It's going to be a 4 o'clock game here, but it'll be like 1 o'clock for us. It's just overnight for us. We treat it no [differently]."
(On the biggest difference between last year's team that played in San Francisco and this year)
"Hopefully healthier – we're healthier. Obviously, we're different schematically and everything else and you have to build it differently, but that's really about it. We tweaked some things, we have a lot younger guys right now. We should be a little healthier."
(On the differences he sees in San Francisco's team compared to last year)
"They're talented – they were talented last year, they're talented this year. You don't see much difference."
(On if sees any differences in 49ers QB Brock Purdy compared to last year)
"I don't think anything looks different. He looked good when we played them last year, he looks good now. He's done everything accordingly since we played him. He's a very good quarterback on a very talented team."
(On QB Baker Mayfield's play when he has to stay in the pocket)
"Baker can play in the pocket. We're very comfortable with him playing in the pocket. It's not really much different for us."
