SANTA CLARA, Calif. — After three of their four working backs suffered accidents in Sunday’s seize towards the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers returned to the Bay Home unsure of which of those backs would be on hand for subsequent week’s recreation towards the Inexperienced Bay Packers.
And whereas some of that uncertainty remains, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that simplest a number of the three backs would possibly be dominated out for subsequent week and beyond.
One week after starting working serve Raheem Mostert modified into once misplaced to season-ending surgical operation on the “chipped cartilage” in his left knee, the Niners now resolve to be with out backup JaMycal Quick for no much less than the next few weeks.
Quick suffered a high ankle sprain with about six minutes left within the 17-11 seize over the Eagles. He did now not return to the game and extra tests Monday printed the sprain, which veritably comes with at least a 3-week restoration, making Quick a candidate to land on injured reserve.
In better working serve records for the Niners, newcomers Elijah Mitchell (upright shoulder) and Trey Sermon (concussion) at least fill a giant gamble to play towards the Packers on Sunday night time. Mitchell is judicious day-to-day and Sermon must sure concussion protocol so to play.
“JaMycal is the very best individual that’s sure out,” Shanahan said. “Elijah and Trey fill a giant gamble, so we will notice how this week goes.”
Mitchell, Quick and Sermon suffered their accidents inner a span of about 5 minutes towards the Eagles. At one point, the 49ers needed to make exercise of Trenton Cannon, who they’d true claimed on waivers Wednesday, to fill in.
As it stands, Cannon is the very best healthy working serve on the active roster, even though the 49ers furthermore fill Kerryon Johnson on the notice squad.
Whereas Shanahan is final optimistic that one or every of Mitchell and Sermon would possibly presumably perchance presumably be on hand this week, the Niners are doing their diligence on doubtless working serve additions. Shanahan said the crew is bringing in veterans T.J. Yeldon, Duke Johnson and Lamar Miller for workout routines within the next day or so.
