49ers right tackle Mike McGlinchey exited Sunday’s game against the Cardinals after just 18 snaps. McGlinchey was ruled out for the game with a knee injury and didn’t return. There’s cause for concern that McGlinchey’s injury is serious.
During his postgame press conference, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said “I don’t” when asked whether he knows how serious McGlinchey’s injury is. It’s never a good sign when a player is ruled out from the game right away.
McGlinchey, for my money, was having his best season to date. Last season, per Sports Info Solutions, McGlinchey had 37 blown blocks, including 28 against the pass.
