The San Francisco 49ers were littered with injuries in 2024 on both sides of the ball. While they didn’t play nearly up to their standards, their lack of depth and injuries to top-end players were big reasons for their disappointing 6-11 campaign.
Key contributors like Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, Javon Hargrave, Deebo Samuel, Jordan Mason, and others all missed key time last season, creating big holes on both sides of the ball.
Now, heading into 2025, the 49ers are looking better from a health perspective, although a few players are nursing injuries and may not be back for the beginning of training camp.
