No team has been hit harder by injuries dating back to 2017 than the San Francisco 49ers.
For those fans unlucky enough to watch the Niners lose to the Houston Texans in Week 8, a graphic on the Fox Sports broadcast made the above statement a fact rather than any suggestion of hyperbole.
Since Shanahan took over his duties in 2017, his players have missed a total of 2,036 games -- most in the NFL over that span.
Granted, when San Francisco has been healthy under Shanahan (it's been rare), the end result has been good (see the two Super Bowl years in 2019 and 2023).
