SANTA CLARA — As Jimmy Garoppolo and other 49ers work back from injuries, a new strength coach will oversee them.
The 49ers have ousted Ray Wright after two, injury-plagued seasons as their head strength and conditioning coach, it was first reported Friday by NBC Sports Bay Area.
Coach Kyle Shanahan and general manger John Lynch had vowed to review the team’s barrage of injuries. A total of 14 players, including Garoppolo, finished this season on injured reserve, and 20 did so in 2017.
“It’s been too big of a deal for two years,” Shanahan said Monday.
