San Francisco 49ers starting wide receiver Torrey Smith fell to the ground while attempting to haul in a 25-yard throw by Colin Kaepernick against the New York Jets. Smith remained on the field and was immediately looked at by training and medical staff.
Smith landed on his head and was possibly knocked out. He sat up and was seen talking with team staff. Smith left the field on a cart, which took him to the 49ers' locker room for evaluation.
The 49ers announced that Smith had suffered a concussion. He will not return to the game.
Statistically, this is Smith's worst season of his career. He has 267 yards and three touchdowns off of 20 receptions. Smith signed with the 49ers as a free agent in 2015.

The San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-23 win on Sunday, overcoming a tight first half to generate a double-digit lead until the last play of the game, improving to 2-0 on the season.
Now, the 49ers are getting ready to host their season opener, and it comes in primetime, as San Francisco will play the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football at Levi's Stadium this week.
The Giants have started their season with two very different games, losing 40-0 to the Dallas Cowboys in the opener before making a comeback in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals for a 31-28 win.

Why Alex Smith continues to be impressed by 49ers QB Brock Purdy
The San Francisco 49ers have been impressive through their first two games of the season. Quarterback Brock Purdy continues to win. His regular-season win streak could extend to eight games on Thursday night, with the Niners hosting the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium.

"He doesn't look like Josh Allen or Justin Herbert, the guys that we want to label these premier quarterbacks in the NFL, but he's built, and it's a perfect place to be because he's an amazing facilitator of this offense," Smith said on

Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
