San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced on Monday that running back Raheem Mostert and tackle Erik Magnuson, who filled in for an injured Trent Brown on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, will be headed to injured reserve.
"[Mostert's] going to have to go on IR," Shanahan said on Monday. "Erik Magnuson is going to have to go on IR also."
Mostert suffered an MCL injury while Magnuson sustained a severe foot sprain early in Sunday's game but continued through.
"[Magnuson] got a foot sprain in the first half," Shanahan said. "I think it was early second quarter, which we didn't know about it. He toughed it out, played throughout the whole game, and it's a pretty bad foot sprain, so he's going to have to go on IR. I was pretty amazed, I've got a lot of respect for that guy for staying out there and battling through it, especially with how short we were at tackles."
Mostert has carried the football six times for 30 yards this season. He also has five kick returns for 83 yards on special teams. Last season with the 49ers, which was his first regular season playing time with an NFL team, he had one carry for six yards.
Mostert, who was initially signed as an undrafted free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, has spent time with six teams in his three NFL seasons. He was signed to the 49ers practice squad in November of 2016 following his release from the Chicago Bears and then promoted to the active roster on December 31, 2016.
Magnuson was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan in April.
"He's earned our respect, a lot, I think everyone in our building," Shanahan said of Magnuson. "He made this team as an undrafted guard, center, an inside player, and he's been thrown in there to play tackle. And the game's not too big for him.
"Our line coaches told him just a couple of hours before kickoff that he was going to be starting and I think it surprised him a little bit. If you would have saw his face, you would have been pretty confident. I mean, the guy was fired up to get an opportunity, loves going out there and playing the game. It's not too big for him. He's not scared to fail."
The 49ers plan to look at replacement options on Tuesday.
"We've got a couple of guys on our practice squad who are options," Shanahan said. "And then we'll go through the people who are out there (free agents). Probably bring in a few guys for workouts tomorrow. I know those guys are working on that now. And then, just from a numbers standpoint, we're going to have to decide on someone. It will be between whoever we work out and the guys on our practice squad."

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.

49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.

Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
