The 49ers placed defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw on the injured reserve with a knee injury. Kinlaw, who has already missed two games this season, must sit out at least four. His surgically repaired knee flared up. He recently said there’d been a fluid buildup in that knee.
Additionally, Emmanuel Moseley was placed on the injured reserve with Kinlaw. Linebacker Curtis Robinson was activated from the IR. The Niners elevated defensive back Dontae Johnson and wide receiver Willie Snead, from the practice squad. Both were standard elevations.
You can’t help but feel for Kinlaw, who might be out for the season.
