SANTA CLARA — Au revoir, Pierre?
The 49ers will place veteran wide receiver Pierre Garçon on the Injured Reserve list with a knee injury this week, and will consider releasing him when the season ends.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan made these announcements Monday afternoon.
“These guys understand the business,” Shanahan said. “They understand how it works. Pierre is battling through a legit injury that has lingered all year. Hopefully, (he) can get healthy. Then, you’ve got to make decisions. You don’t get rid of people to get rid of people, but you’re always trying to improve.
