This is probally something he is going to have to deal with and manage his entire career. Right now it seems like more of an annoyance than a serious injury that could sideline him for a long time. But eventually it will become pretty bad and will probally shorten his career. But hopefully we can atleast get his best years out of his rookie deal. But I would be very hesitant to give him a 2nd contract because this doesn't seem like the type of injury you can fix with surgery. It's just something he is going to have to play through and when it flares up may have to miss some practices and a game here and there.

Like Dee Ford. This is a bit disheartening but hopefully it's just an overreaction by us. I do remember his knees being a concern though.

I believe there were reports that Ford had tendinosis not tendinitis....there's a difference. Tendinosis is a chronic/degeneration of a tendon, which can take months (or longer) to heal, it may require surgery as well...Tendinitis is inflammation (which Kin had) on the tendons, which goes away in a couple of days for acute cases and 4-6 weeks in reoccurring cases. Just needs rest and he's good to go.

Big cat is just fine, he will just have to get a good recovery process after games/workouts...much like most elite athletes.

Knee issues in college, last year and already this year.


He played last season with this same issue?

From the chronicle article:

Kinlaw's situation will be worth monitoring, given his medical file. He dealt with knee tendinitis before entering the NFL, and multiple teams reportedly flagged both of his knees as being at risk for arthritis when he was examined at his combine. Kinlaw missed the final two games last season with a knee injury that was termed a bone bruise before he had what the 49ers characterized as a "routine cleanup" in January.

knee tendinitis isn't some oh my god you're career is over thing....

"There are athletes all the time, throughout the season, that are dealing with these issues," Dr. Michael Banffy, an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles, told the San Francisco Chronicle's Eric Branch. "… I would say 90 percent of the time it's totally manageable and people don't have to do anything drastic about this."


Once again I think people are exaggerating what it is and what he had done....shocker in here I know

Meanwhile, Kinlaw, 22, might have garden-variety tendinitis, but he could have another knee issue. Multiple teams reportedly flagged both of his knees as "at risk for arthritis" before the draft, the NFL Network reported. The report noted that no team was known to have failed him on a physical and several teams had no issue with his medical file.

I will definitely downgrade them because that means they are probably going to have issues," Banffy said. "They are probably going to have a little bit of swelling at the knees. They are probably going to need some maintenance on the knees such as injections, and they're going to be in the training room a little more often. So I would give these guys C-minuses. We still take those guys."

Same article possibly. Agree it's not time to panic but it's most definitely a cause of concern.

Don't need to be negative, but it's looking that way.

I kinda disagree it's cause for concern, if you go across the league tendinitis is very very common...having routine maintenance and figuring out the proper recovery you need on the reg isn't a big thing. Kin will have to do that.

SF knew about his knees, and he wasn't failed by anyone....it's funny people don't really realize or hear about all the s**t these guys do and deal with across the league, but because we have a HC that will speak in complete truths, we think our players are the only ones dealing with this stuff.

It's really not a big deal. honestly

Hes already missed 2 games, he's limited his first week of this season. Again I agree that right now isn't the time to panic but that doesn't mean there's no cause for concern. His knee issues are well documented. Now to your point he didn't miss a ton of time but there are teams that literally passed on him due to the possibility of future issues.

Not the biggest concern but definitely something to watch for.

Just cuz the team is easing him into things doesn't mean he's limited his first week of this season...that doesnt' happen until September.

Which teams passed on him cuz of his knee issues? Some teams flagged him for something, doesn't mean they passed on him because of it. At least that's not information i've seen out there but if you've got something saying otherwise I'll take my L.

I'm just going off of this and I specifically remember some saying he fell due to knee issues in draft day

"Multiple teams reportedly flagged both of his knees as "at risk for arthritis" before the draft, the NFL Network reported. "

But they were reducing his snaps and using his knees as an excuse last year. This definitely isn't good. At least we have a lot of other players with experience inside. They don't have to risk him as much now. Maybe just use him as a run defender more.

Nah I'm telling people to stop being silly over something that is very common across the league. I'm sure if it was Wirfs you'd be completely different in your take

the moment he wants full go in TC I was waiting for you to post something…like you said life in NT

Why would they use his as a rush denfender more? I mean that would be great for your narrative on him that's for sure lol.

it's funny how you keep throwing that out yet what he was worse at in college was stopping the run. You don't get on the field on this DL if you can't stop the run first.

Haha. If we had Wirfs we'd have the best OL in football.

But TBF, had we drafted Wirfs and he had bad knees in college, could only play 600 snaps, could only run block and continued to have knee issues to START camp, I'd just expect it because the FO loves bringing in those injured players.

Glad to see them going the other direction this off season though.

Almost all of his snaps were on 1st and 2nd downs.
