The San Francisco 49ers are trending up injury wise ahead of Monday night’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. According to the beat reporters at practice on Friday, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave returned. As did running back Elijah Mitchell.
Kalia Davis was recently placed on the injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain. The Niners just added another defensive tackle, Taylor Stallworth, to the practice squad. Needless to say, the depth is thin at a position where you can’t afford it to be.
Hargrave playing is the difference between a third or fourth-string player getting starter reps compared to a defensive tackle who signed an $84 million contract.
