Tomsula declined to comment on a potential roster move until the team sets a timetable for Celek’s recovery.
“It’s absolutely not OK”, Tomsula said. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy”. “He got pressure and was running around, and I was drifting across the middle and he found me”. “We’re a scrappy team”. “I thought it was ridiculous all day”.
Not surprisingly, a number of 49ers players were outspoken in their frustrations with the officiating that took place during the game.

Palmer’s touchdown run capped a 14-play, 85-yard drive for the Cardinals (9-2), who remained three games ahead of the in the NFC West. Purcell was in on 49 of the club’s 80 defensive snaps and made three tackles. “It’s my understanding he’s in today”, Tomsula said. “He was playing well”.

In Hyde’s place, Shaun Draughn has taken advantage of every opportunity.
It was Hayne’s three fumbles in the first six games of the regular season, along with his inexperience as a running back, that led to the former Parramatta Eel being cut by the 49ers and re-signed to the practice squad. He said he was happy about the way they played and that they can’t focus on what the refs are doing during a game. “He is sturdy and he’s running well, running hard and his pass protections this week were really good”.
