OK, fans of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens. You might actually get your wish.
The Niners host the fellow one-win Oakland Raiders in Week 9 on Thursday Night Football, and there’s a good chance head coach Kyle Shanahan’s starter, C.J. Beathard, misses the contest with a wrist injury.
According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, who informed the media on Tuesday just before the 2018 NFL trade deadline, Beathard suffered his injury when his hand collided with another player’s helmet during the team’s 18-15 Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
