Barely started, the year is already over for the San Francisco running back.
The 49ers won’t have benefited from Raheem Mostert’s presence for long this season. Injured very early in the game against the Lions, the San Francisco running back should not see the pitch again in 2021. If an 8-week absence was first considered, the player himself announced on his Twitter account that his season was over.
“After having consulted several doctors, and weighing the pros and cons, I will end my season to treat my knee. This will give me, without a shadow of a doubt in my mind, the best possibilities to get back to 110%. I ALWAYS came back stronger, and it will be again this time. I have faith in myself, my doctors, my team and God. He makes no mistakes !!
I am disgusted, it sucks! Obviously that’s not why I worked so hard. I want nothing more than to be on the pitch with my teammates. Thank you for supporting our decision. I AM FAR FROM BEING DONE! “
In 7 NFL seasons, Mostert has only had one full season, in 2019. At 29, the running back will experience a new white season, he who could only play 8 games in 2020. He had some. took the opportunity to accumulate 521 yards and 2 touchdowns in 104 carries.
For San Francisco, it is the loss of a veteran on a position where, to this day, the other three solutions are rookies or in their second year. But Elijah Mitchel has shown against the Lions that his franchise can count on him.
