49ers to place Pierre Garçon on injured reserve

The injury big is absolutely ravaging the San Francisco 49ers. Per Ann Killion, General manager John Lynch said on a late afternoon radio appearance that wide receiver Pierre Garçon is headed to injured reserve. The 49ers informed the media that the injury is a non-displaced fracture of the c5 pedicle in his neck. They said it is an eight week injury, which means his season is over.

Garçon suffered a neck injury on Sunday when he went out of bounds on a catch and ran into a Philadelphia Eagles coach.
