Early in Sunday’s game at the New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers fan-favorite FB Kyle Juszczyk exited the game with an apparent injury. In the second quarter, Juszczyk was forced to leave the game and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of it, and it was later revealed he’s in concussion protocol.

On Monday morning, Juszczyk’s wife Kristin shared on update on Instagram, saying, “Kyle’s doing okay you guys, thank you for everyone who’s [asking],” along with a heart emoji.

It’s an encouraging update for Niners fans, as Juszczyk is so important to everything San Francisco wants to do on offense. Sounds like he’ll be back on the field sooner rather than later for his 49ers.

“I thought Mac [Jones] played real well,” Shanahan said in his post-game press conference. “We had a number of things we had to change up, it was a big deal losing [Juszczyk] there early in the game, especially with Kittle out, just the stuff we had to do with other tight ends.”

“So we were scrambling there for a little bit trying to figure some things out. Thought he handled the situation well, thought he delivered the ball real well. Obviously would like to have that fumble back, hopefully we can get rid of it a little earlier — it didn’t look like anyone was really open, though. But yeah, I thought he did a hell of a job.”

Injuries Continue to Mount on Offense for the San Francisco 49ers

Midway through last season, star Niners WR Brandon Aiyuk tore his ACL. He won’t be back for at least a few weeks yet, but San Francisco entered the season expecting that. These other offensive injuries, however, are taking a toll.

LT Rashawn Slater, one of the best offensive tackles in the league, tore his patella tendon in training camp and is out for the year. Star TE George Kittle was an engine of production early in Week 1 against the Seahawks, but he suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter and is currently on Injured Reserve (IR).

While Aiyuk is out, Jauan Jennings is the 49ers’ top wide receiver. But after dealing with a calf injury throughout training camp, he suffered a shoulder injury against the Seahawks that’s been hampering him, though he played against the Saints. WRs Jacob Cowing and Trent Taylor are also on IR. That’s not including WR Demarcus Robinson, who is currently serving a three-game suspension to open the season.

And then there’s starting QB Brock Purdy. Fresh off a massive extension, Purdy suffered shoulder and toe injuries against the Seahawks and missed the Saints game, forcing Jones into the starting lineup. He could be out another few weeks.
