Their arguably two leading players, quarterback Jimmy Garappolo, and tight end George Kittle, are both out for weeks to months with injuries sustained in Sunday's game.
Garropolo suffered a re-injury to a strained ankle muscle, and is expected to be out for six weeks, perhaps longer if surgery is needed.
Kittle suffered a broken foot bone and is expected to be out for two months.
Not sure if the team has suitable replacements. Kittle in particular was making quite a splash with his extremely aggressive and successful playing.
Oh well.
I still have my signed 49r's football from 1964.

(5,124 posts)I can see Niners shopping players before the deadline, stick a fork in this season.
I'd roll with who they have at QB behind Jimmy G, no sense taking on a huge contract.

(5,775 posts)When most of our best players are out for the year, all we have to look forward to now is a good draft position.
That's football.

(2,559 posts)I was about 11 years old and the mother of a friend of mine gave us two tickets she got off a Christopher Milk carton. I assume it was some sort of contest. We were sitting in that section when to my surprise they announced my ticket number. My friend handled it graciously, and I returned the favor by bringing the football to his house so we could use it to play in the street, LOL. It's a bit scuffed up from that, but I still have it. Only John Brodie's signature - done in big magic marker - is still legible. The rest were in ball point pen and never were legible to begin with.
I also remember that as I was exiting Kezar, through a tunnel, some teens took a shine to the football and one of them kicked it out of my arms. But they did let me retrieve it. I guess for even them it was beneath their dignity to steal it from a little kid. Anyway, I earned that sucker, LOL.

(25,187 posts)really put the beatdown on them Sunday afternoon. I was not able to watch the game, but my lady just got a new (used) car, and Sirius XM gave her a three month free trial, so I sat in the car and listened to the game in our driveway.
