The 49ers’ injury bug, so bad in 2020, is starting again in 2021, forcing questions about how much blame Kyle Shanahan should bear.
True, San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Justin Skule and defensive back Tarvarius Moore weren’t exactly pegged to be high-profile contributors entering 2021. Both are backups.
And now both are out with serious injuries, Skule a torn ACL and Moore a torn Achilles, both suffered during OTA practices outside Levi’s Stadium, which eventually led to the team cancelling the remainder of its OTAs and mandatory minicamp for the rest of the offseason.
