Ryan Sakamoto of Niner Fans reported late Tuesday night that San Francisco 49ers LB Michael Wilhoite suffered a stress fracture and will head to the injured reserve list.

He was replaced by LB Gerald Hodges.
Latest on Wilhoite's injury is that this 'sress fracture' will now end his season. He will be placed on season-ending IR. Jarryd Hayne time?
