49ers rookie may have avoided major injury in loss to Cardinals

San Francisco provided an initial injury update on RB Isaac Guerendo following the 49ers’ season finale vs. Arizona.

San Francisco running back Isaac Guerendo exited the 49ers’ season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals just four plays into the contest.

On his second carry of the afternoon, Guerendo’s left leg was twisted up and he had to be carted off.

San Francisco quickly ruled Guerendo out and initially classified his injuries as knee and ankle ailments.

After San Francisco’s season ended with a 47-24 loss versus Arizona, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan updated Guerendo’s injury status.

“Isaac Guerendo had a knee and an ankle. Not sure yet. Most likely an MCL, but we’re going to have to find out for sure tomorrow,” Shanahan said.

Shanahan said that it was challenging for San Francisco to see Guerendo carted off. The franchise is holding out hope for good news on his injury status, though.

“Yeah, it was tough, especially when you go out on a cart. You know, I think that messed with everyone a little bit, but we’re still holding out hope that it’s good news. Or, good news in comparison to going off on a cart and everything. Hoping it’s not ACL. I thought Patrick stepped it up and ran really well today and played really good,” Shanahan said.

Guerendo’s 2024 season comes to a close with 84 carries, 420 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. Guerendo was selected by the 49ers in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft.

With Guerendo sidelined, Patrick Taylor Jr. rushed 17 times for 109 yards.

Shanahan also remarked on injuries to rookie safety Malik Mustapha, safety Talanoa Hufanga, cornerback Renardo Green, wide receiver Chris Conley and offensive tackle Colton McKivitz.

“Malik Mustapha, cut his knee up and bruised his knee. He was out, didn’t return Huff had a concussion, didn’t return. Renardo Green, groin, did not return. Conley had an elbow, he returned. Col McKivitz, ankle did not return,” Shanahan said.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo carted off with knee and ankle injuries

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo was carted off early vs. Arizona.

San Francisco running back Isaac Guerendo was injured and carted off early during the 49ers‘ season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals.

On San Francisco’s opening series and on Guerendo’s second carry, the rookie from Louisville got twisted up as he rushed for a pair of yards. Guerendo required the cart to exit the playing surface at State Farm Stadium and the team didn’t wait to rule him out.

The 49ers ruled Guerendo out with a knee and ankle injury.

With Guerendo out of the equation, San Francisco is down to just one healthy running back in Patrick Taylor Jr.

Entering Sunday, Taylor had appeared in six games this season, carrying 22 times for 74 rushing yards with a 3-yard touchdown against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 8.

Taylor is a fourth-year pro from Memphis. Prior to this season with San Francisco, Taylor spent three seasons with the Green Bay Packers.

Guerendo’s 2024 season comes to a close with 84 carries, 420 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. Guerendo was selected by the 49ers in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft.

WR Deebo Samuel is one of five ‘out’ on 49ers Week 18 injury report

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 18 game vs. Cardinals.

The San Francisco 49ers will finish the season the way they started it – banged up and missing a handful of star players.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel, quarterback Brock Purdy and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir are all listed as ‘out’ for the team’s Week 18 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Tight end George Kittle is also ‘questionable.’

It’s not a huge surprise the 49ers opted for maximum caution with player like Purdy and Lenoir since both figure to be key pieces in the team’s future beyond the 2024 campaign. The same may be true for Samuel, although his future in San Francisco is still uncertain.

For the 49ers, they can’t climb out of the cellar in the NFC West, so there isn’t much to play for in Sunday’s game. A win could drop them as far as No. 14 in the NFL draft. A loss would keep them at No. 11, which is where they’re slated to pick entering the final week of the regular season.

Kyle Shanahan gives update on 49ers QB Brock Purdy elbow injury

Kyle Shanahan provided an injury update on 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy following Monday night vs. the Lions.

San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy exited with an apparent right arm injury after he was sacked late in the 49ers’ Monday Night Football loss against the Detroit Lions.

Afterwards, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan gave an initial injury update on Purdy, revealing that the 49ers quarterback was sidelined with a right elbow injury.

That’s the same elbow that Purdy tore his ulnar collateral ligament in during the 2022 NFC championship game loss versus the Philadelphia Eagles.

Shanahan said that Purdy’s status for the 49ers’ season finale at Arizona is now up in the air. Purdy will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to further diagnose the injury.

Shanahan said the initial belief is that the injury is not serious and that Purdy just got hit in the wrong spot, leading to some nerve issues.

“I wouldn’t think so,” Shanahan said when asked if Purdy’s injury would be a long-term concern. “I mean, I’m just speculating right now. I know everyone when they hear about Brock’s elbow and stuff, just like me, you think of the elbow injury from a couple years ago.

“But, just talking to the doctors, he just got hit in the right spot. When you get hit there, your nerves go and you can’t feel much, but hopefully it’ll be alright.”

Purdy also spoke with reporters following the loss and said he was unsure about the severity of his injury.

“Nothing right now. We’re going to get an MRI tomorrow and see. I mean, it doesn’t feel the best, but just leave it at that. We’ll see tomorrow,” Purdy said.

Purdy detailed how he was injured on the Brian Branch sack.

“On that sack, I got hit on the back side and, yeah, basically just my arm was on fire kind of thing. So, I tried throwing a couple on the sideline and I couldn’t at that point.

“It has nothing to do with tapping out of a game or anything like that. I love my teammates and I’ll go to the very end for them and this fan base and everybody. That’s what hurts me is I couldn’t finish the game, but again we’ll see tomorrow,” Purdy said.

Asked if the pain was similar to what he felt when he tore his UCL versus Philadelphia in that 2022 NFC championship game, Purdy provided a positive update on that front.

“A little bit, but we did some tests with UCL stuff and I’m good in that regard, but we’ve just got to go get imaging on it tomorrow and see the whole thing,” Purdy said.

San Francisco closes its 2024 season at the Arizona Cardinals with kickoff set for 1:25 p.m. PT on Sunday, Jan. 5.

Nick Bosa returns to Lions game after hit to head

San Francisco defensive end Nick Bosa briefly exited Monday’s contest vs. Detroit, but the 49er star cleared concussion protocol.

San Francisco defensive end Nick Bosa exited early in the 49ers’ Monday Night Football battle versus the Detroit Lions after being on the wrong end of a collision with one of his own teammates.

With San Francisco in possession of a 14-6 lead, Bosa pressured and sacked Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. As Bosa was finishing the sack off, though, 49ers linebacker Dee Winters also came in to try to clean the play up.

Winters’ helmet crunched into the headgear of Bosa and both players were shaken up. Winters remained in the contest, but Bosa exited and made his way to the blue medical tent.

According to the 49ers, Bosa was evalutated for a concussion for a concussion and cleared protocol to return.

In what is obviously great news for the San Francisco defense and for the 49ers’ fortunes, Bosa did reenter the contest.

Bosa entered Monday night with 44 tackles, seven sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one interception in the 2024 NFL season.

49ers vs. Lions injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 17

All the latest updates and news on the 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 17 game vs. the Lions.

The San Francisco 49ers’ already-struggling offensive line may suffer another blow heading into an NFC championship game rematch with the Detroit Lions.

With left tackle Trent Williams and left guard Aaron Banks already out for the season, right tackle Colton McKivitz showed up on the practice participation report as a non-participant the final two days of practice before being listed as ‘questionable’ on the official injury report because of a knee injury.

To make matters worse, offensive lineman Spencer Burford, who was supposed to start at left tackle with Williams and his backup Jaylon Moore on IR for the season, is listed as ‘out’ on the injury report with a calf injury he sustained in the team’s Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

If McKivitz is out, expect Charlie Heck and Austen Pleasants to take the starting offensive tackle jobs. Pleasants was added to the practice squad and promoted to the active roster before Week 16, while Heck was signed in the lead up to Week 17.

It may be a long night for quarterback Brock Purdy and the 49ers’ offense on Monday.

49ers open Week 16 practice with 3 players missing, 5 limited

The San Francisco 49ers had a busy practice report to open Week 16 preparations for the Miami Dolphins.

With the postseason virtually out of reach, the San Francisco 49ers can start turning an eye toward the 2025 season. However, it doesn’t appear the 49ers are aiming to start shutting things down with three games to go.

San Francisco’s practice participation report from Wednesday featured a trio of players missing, including left tackle Trent Williams and running back Isaac Guerendo. Williams is still working through an ankle issue. Guerendo had a hamstring injury crop up during the team’s Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Beyond that, players like defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw were still participating in practice on a limited basis despite playing through injury issues of their own.

Bosa has been dealing with hip and oblique problems since Week 10, and they cost him three games before his return against the Rams. Greenlaw made his season debut in Week 15 after recovering from a torn Achilles. He left the game with what head coach Kyle Shanahan classified as fatigue and soreness. That both players were in practice to begin the week is a good sign for their chances to suit up Sunday in Miami.

49ers update injury report day after loss vs. Rams

Kyle Shanahan provided next-day injury updates on linebackers Dee Winters and Dre Greenlaw and safety Ji’Ayir Brown.

The San Francisco 49ers (6-8) fell on Thursday night against NFC West rival Los Angeles, 12-6.

Along the way, linebackers Dee Winters and Dre Greenlaw and safety Ji’Ayir Brown exited with injuries.

On Friday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan updated that trio’s status on a conference call with reporters.

“Alright guys, injuries from the game. Ji’Ayir Brown had a groin, checked out pretty good, though. He’ll be day-to-day. Dee Winters, same thing with his neck. He’ll be day-to-day also. Greenlaw with his Achilles, knee, checked out good, so he’s just dealing with some soreness. He should be good going forward. He’ll be day-to-day. And that’s it from the game,” Shanahan said.

It’s good news across the board for the 49ers with Brown, Winters and Greenlaw.

Another welcome sight was defensive end Nick Bosa remaining healthy and off the latest injury report. Bosa had missed three games with hip and oblique injuries before returning and playing 47 snaps against the Rams.

“Yeah, no report of anything today, so it was awesome to get Nick back and he really helped us. It was a good sign that they didn’t tell me about anything today,” Shanahan said of Bosa.

The 49ers also updated the status of left tackle Trent Williams.

“He’s trying to get back. This has been a frustrating injury for him. It hasn’t healed like he or we would like. Hopefully, having these 10 more days before our next game, hopefully that gives a better chance.

“Trent’s doing everything he can to get back, but he is injured. With the injury, there is a chance he will get back, but it has to start recovering and it’s been a lot slower than anticipated,” Shanahan said.

Williams has missed four consecutive games with his ankle injury.

The 49ers close their 2024 season with games at Miami on Dec. 22, versus Detroit on Dec. 30 and at Arizona on Jan. 5.

49ers vs Rams injury report: Latest update, news on Isaac Guerendo for Week 15

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 15 game vs. the Rams.

The San Francisco 49ers’ Week 15 injury report inspired a little bit of optimism on the health front as they enter a virtual must-win matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Running back Isaac Guerendo returned to practice after being listed as a non-participant Monday and Tuesday because of a foot injury. He was limited and is officially questionable, but that’s a better sign than if he missed the session entirely.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan early in the week indicated there was some hope Guerendo would be ready for Thursday. There was no media availability Wednesday so it’s unclear how much progress Guerendo made during the week.

Other good news featured the return of defensive end Nick Bosa. He was limited and is listed as questionable after missing the last three games with hip and oblique injuries.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw was also a full participant for the first time since having his 21-day practice window opened. He missed the last two games and was limited Monday and Tuesday. A full practice and ‘questionable’ designation mean he could make his return Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium.

49ers injury report

Out

OL Ben Bartch (ankle)
S Malik Mustapha (shoulder)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

Mustapha was downgraded to a non-participant Wednesday. Ji’Ayir Brown figures to get the start alongside Talanoa Hufanga.

Questionable

DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
DT Khalil Davis (knee)
LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles)
RB Isaac Guerendo (foot)

It would be a massive lift and some awesome injury news if Bosa, Greenlaw and Guerendo all play Thursday.

49ers OL suffers another big blow after starter ruled out

San Francisco was dealt another blow up front as one of its offensive line starters was ruled out vs. the Chicago Bears.

The San Francisco 49ers‘ injury concerns up front continued on Sunday during the team’s Week 14 date against the Chicago Bears (4-8).

Thrust into a starting role, left guard Ben Bartch exited San Francisco’s contest on Sunday midway through the first quarter with an ankle injury.

After initially being listed as questionable to return, Bartch was officially ruled out by the 49ers. Bartch stepped in for left guard Aaron Banks who remained sidelined with a concussion.

Bartch was replaced by Spencer Burford. The third-year pro served as the 49ers’ starting right guard over each of the past two seasons.

In addition to Banks and Bartch being sidelined, longtime star left tackle Trent Williams missed his third straight game with a left ankle injury of his own.

Minus its two starting cogs on the left side of its offensive line and its starting left guard today, the San Francisco 49ers still managed to put together an explosive first half against the Bears.

San Francisco (5-7) racked up 319 yards of total offense, 254 passing yards, 14 first downs and averaged 8.6 yards per play in the first half against the Bears.

The 49ers led 24-0 at halftime and are seeking to snap a current three-game losing streak.
