Ready to face Seahawks
Puni (knee) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Puni practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. He'll be ready to suit up and should start at right guard in Week 1 against Seattle.

Limited practice Wednesday
Puni (knee) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Puni is dealing with a knee injury that he suffered Aug. 16, but his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a good sign for his chances to play in Week 1. The 25-year-old will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's regular-season opener in Seattle. If he can't go, Connor Colby and Drew Moss are both candidates to draw the start at right guard versus the Seahawks.

Expected to miss multiple weeks
Puni suffered a possible PCL injury in Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders and is expected to miss a few weeks, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Puni will have a chance to be ready for the Niners' Week 1 game against the Seahawks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Starting left guard Ben Bartch is already sidelined with an elbow injury, so San Francisco's offensive line depth is already getting thin.

Won't return Saturday
Puni has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders due to a knee injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Puni appeared to suffer the injury while blocking on a 30-yard field-goal attempt by Jake Moody early in the first quarter, and the offensive guard will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Drew Moss, Nick Zakelj and Connor Colby are candidates to see increased work on the offensive line due to Puni's injury.

Good to go against Buffalo
Puni (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
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.

Headed for imaging
Puni (shoulder) will undergo an MRI this week, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

Locked into starting RG
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
