San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media on Monday and provided updates on several injuries from Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The most significant injury was to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who suffered a torn ACL and is lost for the season. The good news, if there is any, is that Garoppolo did not tear any other ligaments in his knee aside from the ACL.
Veteran cornerback Richard Sherman suffered a calf injury during the second quarter and needed assistance off the field at halftime. Shanahan said that he was told Sherman's injury is not connected to his previous Achilles injury.
"The surgery that he had on his Achilles was his right leg," Shanahan said. "This is his left calf."
Below are the updates that Shanahan provided.
QB Jimmy Garoppolo (torn ACL) — out for the season
CB Richard Sherman (calf strain) — out a couple weeks
S Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder stinger) — will be checked again on Wednesday
G Mike Person (slight knee sprain) — will probably be questionable this week
G Joshua Garnett (toe) — Shanahan said he would be surprised if he returned this week
RB Matt Breida (hyperextended knee, calf soreness) — questionable this week
RB Alfred Morris (ankle) — should be ok and will be checked again on Wednesday
WR Marquise Goodwin (quadricep) — expected to be fine
S Adrian Colbert (hip) — will be checked again on Wednesday
