49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Mike McGlinchey has a torn quad and will undergo surgery that will force him to miss the remainder of the season. However, Shanahan praised McGlinchey for bouncing back after a tough year and putting in the work this past offseason to become a better player.
Tavon Wilson started in place of the injured Jimmie Ward. Shanahan said Wilson is likely headed to the injured reserve with a foot injury, and he’ll be out “awhile.” If Ward cannot return, Tony Jefferson will start at safety.
Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, who has ingrained himself as WR3, is headed to the injured reserve with a knee sprain.
