Juszczyk faces estimated two to three weeks out with knee injury
An MRI reportedly found a knee sprain and bone bruise after the fullback was injured against Denver. His return timing is not confirmed.
San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk is expected to miss two to three weeks after an MRI showed a knee sprain and bone bruise, ESPN reported, according to Fox Sports. The team has not directly confirmed the findings or timetable in the supplied report.
Juszczyk was hurt early in the fourth quarter of San Francisco’s 24–14 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday and was ruled out of the game.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that initial signs suggested Juszczyk’s ACL was intact. The MRI findings offer a clearer account of the injury, though the expected absence remains an estimate rather than a confirmed return date.
The reported timeframe may mean the 49ers do not need to place Juszczyk on injured reserve, but no decision on his roster status was reported.
