Like 2017 and 2018, the 2019 San Francisco 49ers had to deal with plenty of injuries and attrition over the course of the regular season.
Unlike 2017 and 2018, the 2019 Niners were able to absorb those injuries over the course of the year to the tune of a 13-3 regular-season record, finishing with the NFC West crown and the No. 1 seed in the conference. It’s a testament to the work put in by head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch.
There were plenty of reserve and fill-in players who helped make up for the high number of injuries.
