It’s far from ideal, but the 49ers losing running back Jeff Wilson to a knee injury opens up the door for rookie Trey Sermon to have an increased load in 2021.
The San Francisco 49ers‘ running back room just took a bit of a hit during OTAs, when NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Jeff Wilson Jr. “recently underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus” and would “miss four to six months,” therefore cutting into his ability to be available for the start of the 2021 campaign.
