San Francisco 49ers Hit Hard With Injuries
We’ve known about Christian McCaffrey being out along with Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. But the San Francisco 49ers continue to get hit hard with injuries. Besides their last minute 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, bad news was received regarding their defensive line. Head coach Kyle Shanahan made it known that Javon Hargrave’s injury from Sunday’s game was worse than thought. Initially it was believed that he exited the game with a triceps contusion. However, further examination revealed the nine-year veteran actually partially tore his triceps. And will “likely” be out for the remainder of the 2024 season.
Yesterday afternoon, Shanahan made a statement:
“It’s a big one (loss),” Shanahan said. “I thought he had his best game yesterday. I thought he was a huge factor. He really affected the quarterback in that game, and it’s a big loss. He’s one of our better players, and he was definitely going in the right direction. He was going to have a big year.”
Shanahan also commented on the surgery needed that is likely to keep him from playing again this season:
“When you get surgery that’s usually a few months at least,” Shanahan said. “If there was a chance, it would have to be late in the playoffs.”
In the first three games of the season Hargrave has piled up seven tackles (one for loss), 1.0 sack and a quarterback hit. Last year he signed a four year deal so he’ll be with the team through 2026. But as for a replacement they have Kevin Givens and Jordan Elliott on their active roster. But they also have Evan Anderson or Y.T. McGill on their practice squad who could be promoted to the roster.

It was also reported that Christian McCaffrey recently went to Germany for treatment. Other famous athletes have sought treatment in Germany including Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant. Shanahan acknowledged McCaffrey’s trip. “I’m not sure what doctor it is,” Shanahan said. “I know he’s going to see a specialist that he believes can help him with his Achilles process and I think he’s doing that over these next few days. Hopefully it will help.”
And in other injury news, quarterback Brock Purdy is experiencing back soreness. He was labeled as day-to-day headed into Week 4 after getting an MRI that Shanahan said was “good.” However, some good news is that tight end George Kittle may be good to go in time for Wednesday’s practice.
