Santa Clara, California. – Two more San Francisco 49 injured have led to injured reserves, and although the road to consolidation continues, it is not clear when the Niners will get back some key players dealing with injuries.
Niners coach Kyle Shanah said Monday that defensive end Ziggy Anshan suffered a torn biceps in Sunday’s defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles and will have to move to a long-term reserve this weekend. That was the expected result for Ansah, and the Ninners also got some bad news on Nickel Cornback or Van Williams.
Williams, who was already dealing with a hip injury, sprained his ankle against the Knee Eagles and will “probably” head for a short-term injury reserve this week, meaning Williams will have to miss at least three games.
“I’m worried,” Shanah said. “Ke’van is jerking off his hip. Then you got to your knees. I can’t tell you how much I respected Ke’van, the fact that he was there for us every week. The fact is when he was the whole game. Injured in the meantime, he kept trying to get inside because he knew how low we had come down … Kevin, the one he was going through, was just fighting through it, he did his best, and we got it To stop him now, give him a chance to recover. “
Shanah has expressed hope that some of the niners who were previously injured will return soon after. Shenahan said quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (right ankle sprain), linebacker Dre Greenla (quadriceps), Rahim Mossart (knee sprain) and Cornback ahkello Widharspun (hamstring) are in the back of the week. Closer than others. Receiver Richie James Jr., who is on a short-term IR due to a hamstring injury, is also a candidate to return to this week’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
Shenahan said he is incredible about his quarterback status, and Geroppolo will go through a workout on Monday and Tuesday before seeing how much he can practice on Wednesday.
Mostert, who has missed the last two games due to a sprained knee, probably has one more week left, although that could change, Shanah said.
“I’m not really optimistic, but I know he has a chance on Wednesday, and he’ll get more and more every day of the week, but then we’ll have to wait and see how it comes.” .
Schnahan is taking a similarly cautious approach to the possible return of Cornwall Richard Sherman. Sherman is on a short-term reserve from a calf injury in Week 1 and is eligible to return to practice for the first time this week.
Asked what the chances are of Sherman practicing and playing Sunday this week, Shanah said, “Just like Rahim.”
“[I’m] “There’s no real notch in either, but I know they have a chance,” Shanah said. “Initially I was told that the shame would be about three to four weeks, and I think we would come to three, and that was likely. Four is supposed to be. So I expect from him, hope for him next week. “But it would be a good surprise to meet him this week. Shame on you, there’s always a chance, but we’ll have to wait and see what it’s like on Wednesday.”
In addition to Sherman and Williams, 49 people are waiting for the return of the start of Cornwack Emanuel Moseley. Mosley is still in concussion protocol, which means Ninars could play without his top three cornbacs this week. If Witharpoon is able to return, he will likely leave Jamar Taylor from the outside with Jason Verrett to enter the slots in Williams.
To find outside help to complement the roster, especially in situations like cornbuck and defensive end that have been hit hard by injury, Shanah said the team could be out this week before taking further moves.
“It’s kind of hard to get the boys in, and there’s not a ton right now,” Shanah said. “We’ve done it, I think, as well as we can do it yet … I don’t know if we can do it this week. I doubt it. We’ll go with what we do.” And we’ll see who’s ready to go. “
