San Francisco 49ers find themselves in a ‘tough spot’ heading into Week Three. Last week, in particular, was devastating for Kyle Shanahan and his players. At present, there are a total of 10 players on the 49ers Injury-Reserve list.
The turf at the MetLife Stadium in New York has been the major reason behind a host of injuries. However, coach Shanahan opined that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s injury was the result of something more insidious.
Shanahan called for sanctions on two New York Jets players for taking unnecessary hits on Garoppolo in their Week Two clash.
