The 49ers are shutting down safety Jaquiski Tartt for the final two games.
Tartt, 26, couldn’t shake shoulder injuries that plagued him throughout the season and was put on injured reserve Friday. He’ll finish the year having appeared in eight games. He played nine in 2017 before fracturing his forearm.
Tartt suffered a stinger in the opener against Minnesota and played through pain throughout the season. It was similar to the injury that plagued former linebacker Reuben Foster, who dealt with chronic shoulder injuries during his time with San Francisco.
“They were both stingers,” coach Kyle Shanahan said.
