Ian Rapoport reports that 49ers DE Tank Carradine is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain and is “potentially” not a candidate for the injured reserve.
Rapoport adds that Carradine’s MRI came back “relatively clean”, which is encouraging news for the 49ers given HC Kyle Shanahan said that the injured reserve was a possibility for him.
“Tank has got a high ankle sprain,” Shanahan said, via Pro Football Talk. “We haven’t gotten his MRI back, but we’re going to have to get that and really decide whether IR or not, because any time you’ve got a high ankle sprain, it’s going to be a while.
