Santa Clara, California. – In a season full of relentless, devastating injury news, the San Francisco 49 players could have had their two biggest wins as sources quote ESPN Adam Schifter in the quarterback on Monday. Jimmy Caropolo And tight end George Kittle Extended time may be lost.
According to Caropolo, the worsening of his high right ankle sprain at the loss of Seahork in Seattle on Sunday is expected to keep him out for at least six weeks and last longer if ankle surgery is needed.
Although it was initially believed that there were no fractures in Kittil’s leg, further examination revealed that one of the broken bones would cost him eight weeks. With eight games and one bag remaining, Kitty’s season is over.
Caropolo and Kittle both left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter. Caropolo appeared to have shifted his ankle in the previous game and played through it, but he was sent off with 14:02 remaining. After going 11-for-16 for 84 yards he went to the locker room, with an interception for the pass rating of 55.2.
Nick Mullens He replaced Caropolo with 238 yards from 18 to 25 and went on to a 128.4 pass rating with two touchdowns. With Carpolo out for a long time, Mullens will return to the starting role, a job he filled in when Caropolo missed two games with an ankle sprain earlier this season. C.J. Pittard Acting as a backup for Mullens.
Mullens said Sunday that Caropolo is ready to step in for a long time if needed.
“You can always get out of there and go back to my last start, and it’s definitely going to build confidence,” Mullens said. “The biggest thing I’ve learned is that the NFL is tough, it’s about what you do next. That’s why I say to myself every day, ‘This is what you do next.’ It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, it’s what you do next. “
Kittal suffered a leg injury two minutes after Carpolo left Mullens in the 25-yard field. Kitty took the catch, but landed badly, was soon sidelined, and then went to the locker room for further evaluation.
Kitty early X-rays showed no gaps, but coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that more tests would be needed to confirm it on Monday. Kitt, who signed a five-year, $ 75 million contract extension during training camp, missed two games with MCL, who sprained his left knee earlier this season.
Rose Twelli Instead of a kitty against the Seahawks, he caught a touchdown from Mullens, although the Knights could pull the tight end off Jordan Reid from a sprained knee in an attempt to quickly transfer to the kitty.
“I trust Jordan Reid this week, but I don’t know now,” Shanahan said Sunday.
Kittil and Carpolo are just the latest additions to a long niner injury list, which includes other key players such as defensive end Nick Posa (Torn ACL), running backwards Rahim Mostard (Upper ankle sprain), receiver Depo Samuel (Drained femur) and cornerback Richard Sherman (Filtered calf).
Even before Kittil and Carpolo landed on the injured reserve, the maximum cap value of players on the injured reserve this season was $ 54.2 million. In eight games, the Knights had three different leading passers, four different leading Russians and four different leading recipients.
All of that depression has caused an impact in the locker room of the Niners.
“It still hurts,” Fullback said Kyle Jussick Said. “Even though it seems to happen again and again, guys give up every game and it hurts every time.”
49ers (4-4) will not have much time to live with their recent injuries. They are set to host the Green Bay Packers (5-2) Thursday night.
