On the 49ers podcast with Joe:

#1 49ers tackle Mike McGlinchey, who had arthroscopic knee surgery, should be returning soon. Talk about his return and how much he means to San Francisco.

#2 Left tackle Joe Staley (fibula) and Kyle Juszczyk (knee) have been working out and in practice on Tuesday. How close are they to returning?

#3 How much better would the 49ers be with three more offensive starters who missed 14 games?

#4 How fortunate are the 49ers, who lost two starting tackles and still are able to produce the way they have?

#5 Edge rusher Nick Bosa had one tackle and no quarterback pressures in Arizona last game, and against the Panthers, he had three sacks, one interception in a game that earned him the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
