5 Takeaways: Harbaugh Wants Bolts to Improve from Good to Great ...
4. Health update
Harbaugh didn't have much of an update Monday when asked about the health of the team coming out of Sunday's game.
"We'll see," Harbaugh said. "Still Monday an evaluation day, and we'll have more specifics later in the week."
Besides Slater and Alt, the Bolts were also missing Joey Bosa, Junior Colson, Ja'Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard due to injuries. Derwin James, Jr. was serving a one-game suspension.
It's worth noting that the pair of players currently on Injured Reserve — wide receiver DJ Chark and linebacker Nick Niemann — are eligible to return to practice next week.
"It's possible," Harbaugh said of that outcome. "We'll see how the week goes."
5. Locker room vibes
With the Bolts sitting at 2-2 after a 2-0 start, players are aware of the 13-game slog that lies ahead.
And while there was a sense of frustration Sunday in the postgame locker room, it stemmed from missed opportunities and knowing both losses could have gone the other way.
"I just hate losing," J.K. Dobbins said. "I haven't been in a place where I've lost a lot so I'm not used to it … and I don't want to get used to it."
Harbaugh said Monday that he feels "the same way" as Dobbins.
Harbaugh had conversations with multiple players in the postgame locker room Sunday as he was seen chatting with Herbert, Dobbins and Denzel Perryman.
"I had that conversation with J.K. in the locker room after the game and agree," Harbaugh said. "Wouldn't be pleased if it was the other way, had he or anybody liked to lose or wanted to lose.
"That's definitely not the case and I agree with him," Harbaugh added. "Our belief, our faith is that we got the guys, we got the members of the team that have the faith that we'll get that done."
