49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk Suffers Leg Injury

The San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk suffered an apparent leg injury in their Week 4 win over the Denver Broncos.

He was ruled out in the fourth quarter after awkwardly getting hit in the knee with a helmet and being left in pain on the field.

Injuries are nothing new for San Francisco, who seem to be plagued by injuries every year.

Juszczyk was diagnosed with a knee sprain and bone bruise, which would be considered serious to some but maybe not 49ers fans, who will be happy to learn he shouldn’t be out more than a few weeks barring any setbacks.

The game that will be crucial for him to be suited up for and is looking unlikely is next week’s division matchup with the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.

The 49ers picked up some other injuries last week, including losing safety Marques Sigle on a kickoff return. He refused the cart when it came onto the field and walked to the locker room with no further update.

Cornerback Upton Stout also suffered a shoulder sprain in the victory over Denver.

The hope is that this season is not like the last few, when they were top contenders before injuries made the hurdle too high to clear in the playoffs.

RB Christian McCaffrey is always someone 49ers fans should watch on the injury report, and he has avoided any trouble so far this season.

If the 49ers stay healthy, this core, led by McCaffrey and Brock Purdy, will reach the playoffs with as good a chance as they have had.
