Jalen Hurd may have suffered another devastating injury.
The San Francisco 49ers undergo an MRI after suffering what would be a major knee injury in practice Sunday, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported, according to informed sources. of the situation.
The fear is that the test will reveal a torn ACL.
If it is indeed a torn ligament in the knee, it is a brutal result for the 2019 third-round pick who missed his entire rookie campaign with a back injury. In his preseason debut last year, Hurd scored two touchdowns before sustaining the injury. After a few setbacks, it was closed for the year.
The open sea was cleared for off-season activities in April. The athletic 6-foot-4 catcher had to fight for a big slot role.
Hurd’s injury helps explain the Niners bringing in veteran wide receiver Jaron Brown for a practice session, Garafolo reported. With Deebo Samuel also struggling with a leg injury, the 49ers got mixed up in the discarded matches. The team signed Tavon Austin and JJ Nelson on Friday.
