SANTA CLARA — Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon injured his right knee early in the first quarter of the 49ers’ matchup with the Seahawks, and it didn’t look good.
Several players from both teams knelt near Witherspoon as he was being examined by the team’s medical staff on the Levi’s Stadium turf.

On the Seahawks’ first drive, Witherspoon ran toward the sidelines in coverage and fell to the ground, out of bounds, grabbing at his right knee.
