Jerick McKinnon talks about why he’s not wearing a knee brace after his ACL injury

The San Francisco 49ers activated running back Jerick McKinnon from the PUP list Tuesday morning. Without any setbacks, they threw him out in practice, and he was a participant. The offense wasted no time getting McKinnon the ball on a quick pass.

One of the first questions was if McKinnon had any flashbacks to when he was hurt last year. Later on, McKinnon was asked why he doesn’t wear a brace. McKinnion said both are all mental, and that he feels fine and doesn’t see a need for the brace.
