49ers have ungodly amount of money tied up in players on injured lists

It won't surprise you to know the San Francisco 49ers are again the most injured team across the entire NFL after just five weeks.

What might shock you is just how much money the Niners have committed to players on some sort of injury list.

Hint: It's a lot. More than the remaining 31 other squads.

This makes a good deal of sense. All-Pro tight end George Kittle landed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1. As the highest-paid player at his position, that money is going to a star not currently on San Francisco's 53-man roster.
