McGlinchey (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey suffered a knee sprain in practice Aug. 8 and was expected to miss two to three weeks with the injury. Now, exactly two weeks later the 28-year-old has returned, which is good news for the Broncos offensive line. The Notre Dame product joined Denver as a free agent this offseason and is expected to be the team's starter at right tackle.

McGlinchey sustained a knee sprain during practice Tuesday and will miss two to three weeks, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey could be in jeopardy of missing the entire preseason after signing with the Broncos on a five-year, $85 million deal this offseason. While this injury shouldn't affect his availability for Week 1 versus Las Vegas, the 28-year-old's health could be a significant factor for Denver's offense, as he's expected to fill a starting role at right tackle in 2023.

McGlinchey suffered a lower-body injury during practice Tuesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey got rolled up and limped off the field with a trainer. It's unclear how what the specific injury is or how sever it may be. The Notre Dame product signed a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the team in March with the expectations that he'd be the starting right tackle, so it'd be bad news for the Broncos if he were to miss an extended period of time.

The Broncos are slated to sign McGlinchey to a five-year, $87.5 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey is in line to relocate from San Francisco to Denver following his new deal that includes $50 million in guaranteed money. The 6-foot-8 tackle helped a run-heavy 49ers offense reach the playoffs in three out of his five seasons with the team.

McGlinchey (calf) is absent from the 49ers' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey left last week's loss to the Falcons early due to a calf injury and has subsequently been limited at practice this week. Barring any setbacks, he looks ready to take on his usual workload at right tackle.

McGlinchey (calf) was listed as a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey exited Sunday's contest versus the Falcons with a calf injury and ultimately failed to return. Despite that, the 310-pounder's ability to practice in a limited fashion Thursday is a step in the right direction regarding his Week 7 availability against the Chiefs. While Trent Williams (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday and is also currently listed as questionable, Jaylon Moore, Daniel Brunskill and Blake Hance are candidates to take on expanded roles on San Fran's offensive line should either of the two tackles eventually be ruled out Sunday versus Kansas City.

McGlinchey (calf) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey's absence is a big blow to the 49ers offensive line, which is already down Trent Williams (ankle). Blake Hance should step in at right tackle while McGlinchey is sidelined.

McGlinchey (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey has missed some practice time throughout the last month, as he's been recovering from quadriceps and knee injuries. However, the big offensive lineman's return to full capacity during Thursday's session indicates that he'll be ready to go Week 1 against the Bears.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that McGlinchey (knee) will be sidelined for the team's practices in Minnesota this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey appears to have irritated the interior of his knee and the team is planning to "be smart with him this week," as he sits out practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Shanahan also added that there is nothing wrong structurally with the starting right tackle's knee, so the team's decision appears to be largely precautionary at this point of the preseason.

McGlinchey (quadriceps) participated during team drills in the 49ers' practice Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGlinchey started the first eight games of the 2021 season for San Francisco before suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury in November. This return to on-field activities should be an encouraging sign for the 27-year-old offensive tackle's return to play by Week 1.
