San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined Bay Area radio station KNBR on Friday morning, addressing the injuries to two defensive players who were carted off the practice field on Thursday.
First, the good news: Lynch feels optimistic about defensive tackle Jordan Elliott. After the incident, the team announced that Elliott had suffered a foot injury during practice.
"He stepped on someone's foot—I think the last period of practice—kind of rolled his ankle," Lynch said. "We feel like we got some positive news on him. That probably wasn't a typical cart situation, where it was more them just wanting to get him inside. So we'll see.
"We'll call him questionable, I guess. I don't know what our official [designation will be], but a lot of it will be based on how he feels today. I think, long-term, we feel good about it."
The 49ers are less hopeful about linebacker Curtis Robinson, the first of the two to leave the field. The team confirmed that Robinson sustained a knee injury.
"Curtis, I think we're a little worried, and that didn't look good," Lynch shared. "Non-contact deal. Curtis had worked his tail off. Really, a good contributor for us. So we'll see where that goes. But the early signs weren't good, I can tell you that."
The 49ers are set to host the New England Patriots on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.
