The 49ers beat the Lions Sunday 41-33, but it didn’t feel like that the way the fourth quarter ended. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media after Sunday’s victory to provide a few injury updates.
Shanahan fears that the team has lost cornerback Jason Verrett to an ACL injury for the season: It’s crushing. Hoping for the best, but it’s crushing.”
Losing Verrett would be a massive blow, as he was comfortably one of the best players on the team. The Lions took advantage of the defense once Verrett went down, and Shanahan acknowledged as much.
