Earlier Saturday, Jerick McKinnon went down during a cut, favoring his knee. The local media reported the injury was concerning and McKinnon was scheduled for an MRI. Well, things have moved quick because Ian Rapoport reports that a source says it is indeed a torn ACL, Jennifer Lee Chan has confirmed it. Kyle Shanahan said in his conference call that McKinnon will be moved to IR if this is the case.
This is disappointing on several levels. McKinnon came to the 49ers as a free agent and declared by Shanahan as the starter going into the 2018 season.
