The 49ers have been forced to carefully navigate Javon Kinlaw’s knee injury, which seems to be carrying over from last year into 2021.
The San Francisco 49ers shouldn’t be worrying about alarm bells going off with their first of two first-round NFL Draft picks from 2020, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw.
But they should be at least a little concerned.
As pointed out by the San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch, Kinlaw missed the final two games of his rookie year with an injury to his knee that eventually required offseason surgery.
