San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Clelin Ferrell suffered a knee injury in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Ferrell’s injury wasn’t an ACL or MCL and that the team would have the specifics once they receive Ferrell’s MRI on Monday.
Despite the 49ers having a bye week, Shanahan said there’s a chance that Ferrell could end up missing a playoff game. Tayler Hawkins suffered a wrist injury toward the end of the game. Other than that, the 49ers came out of a glorified scrimmage healthy.
Shanahan said that the team elected to go the safe route with tight end George Kittle and linebacker Dre Greenlaw:
“No, they definitely were trying to go, but Kittle’s having some back spasms.
