It’s starting to feel like the holiday season with Thanksgiving three days away, but there are no greeting cards coming to the San Francisco 49ers from other NFL coaching staffs.
Eric Reid (biceps) is the latest key defender to be injured in 2016 for the 49ers. Reid will likely join NaVorro Bowman, Ian Williams, Ray-Ray Armstrong and Arik Armstead as key defenders who were placed on Injured Reserve.
“We’re not getting a lot of get-well-soon cards from the rest of the teams in the NFL, but that’s what this league’s about,” defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil said on Tuesday after Reid posted pictures on social media following a successful surgery.
