More bad injury news for the Niners [View all]
The San Francisco 49ers received the worst-case scenario for defensive tackle Javon Hargrave on Monday. Kyle Shanahan said Hargrave suffered a partially torn triceps and will miss the rest of the season.
This comes after Shanahan said that Hargrave had his best game of the season against the Los Angeles Rams. Hargrave’s injury requires surgery, which will sideline him for a few months. Shanahan said there’s a chance Hargrave could return, but it would be late in the playoffs.
The Niners are expecting Kalia Davis to return soon, per Shanahan. He’s scheduled to return from the Injured Reserve in the coming weeks. The 49ers will exhaust every option available to them to fill Hargrave’s role. Other options on the team include T.Y. McGill and Evan Anderson on the practice squad.
Hargrave led all defensive tackles in total pressures in Week 3, and Myles Garrett was the only player along the defensive line with a higher pressure rate than Javon. Needless to say, this is a gut-wrenching loss.
