San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd tore his ACL during Sunday's practice and will miss the 2020 NFL season, his agent Doug Hendrickson told KNBR on Monday evening.
"It was a fluke thing, his knee just kind of gave out on an on-the-side route [running] drill," Hendrickson said.
Hurd, a third-round draft pick in 2019 from the University of Tennessee and Baylor, suffered a stress fracture in his lower back last preseason that kept him from playing in 2019 as well. He had rehabbed his way back into shape, and was expected to play an important role in San Francisco's offense this year.
