The 49ers looked well on their way to a one-sided win over the Lions, but cornerback Jason Verrett’s crushing injury sets an ominous tone.
San Francisco 49ers fans probably had nightmare flashbacks of the injury-plagued 2020 campaign during the Niners’ Week 1 41-33 road win over the Detroit Lions.
A win that, at least at one point looked lopsided, win at Ford Field that ultimately felt more like a loss.
San Francisco suffered plenty of injuries during the game, including missing running back Raheem Mostert after a few opening plays to a knee injury.
