Carlos Hyde tore his MCL and will miss remaining game

On Saturday, San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde came within 12 yards of reaching his first career 1,000-yard season. He would have become the 11th player in 49ers franchise history to accomplish the feat. Now, he will likely have to wait until next season to try again.
Hyde had an MRI today to access the extent of the injury that he suffered during the 49ers' victory against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. According to Adam Schefter of
ESPN, Hyde tore his MCL and will miss the team's final game of the season.
Hyde was hit by cornerback E.J. Gaines following a catch. The hit caused the 49ers running back to fumble the football and Rams defensive lineman Morgan Fox recovered. The Rams would score on the ensuing drive to take a 14-point lead, but San Francisco came storming back to win 22-21.
Following the play, Hyde needed assistance to leave the field and then left for the 49ers locker room to be evaluated. He was walking under his own power, but with a limp.
"I'm praying it's not serious," Hyde had told reporters following the win at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. "It didn't feel that bad. It was pain but I've felt worse. That's why I was able to get up and walk off on my own."
In the first quarter, quarterback Colin Kaepernick connected with Hyde on a 19-yard touchdown pass. It was Hyde's third touchdown reception of the season and the most by a 49ers running back since Frank Gore had three in 2009.

Things don't last long in the NFL. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan knows that. He's lived it his whole life.
Shanahan is the son of a former NFL coach. Aside from a lengthy tenure with the Denver Broncos, his father, Mike Shanahan, never spent more than four consecutive years in one city during his 30 years in the NFL.
When Kyle Shanahan started coaching in the league, he adopted the same lifestyle. It was two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, four with the Houston Texans, another four with Washington, one season with the Cleveland Browns, and then two with the Atlanta Falcons before being named the 49ers head coach.
Shanahan is in his fourth year with San Francisco, so you can imagine his relief when the 49ers locked him up to a

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo spoke with reporters via a video conference call today, as the team begins training camp amid a pandemic. Here is everything he had to say.
Transcript provided by the San Francisco 49ers Communications staff.
It seemed like the 49ers doubled down on yards-after-the-catch guys in the Draft. And then just yesterday with TE Jordan Reed. I was wondering if that caught your eye also and what are your impressions of the new pass catchers that have been added to the mix this season?
"Yeah, it's been a productive offseason, just you know, getting new guys, the guys that we've already had, working with them and even getting some guys back from injuries. So, it's a great group. It's

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert spoke with reporters for 20 minutes today via a video conference call. The running back has a reworked contract that he is more comfortable with, and plans to play this season, even amid a pandemic.
It wasn't an easy decision, though. Much discussion, and even a few tears, went into it (more on that here).
Mostert, however, feels it was best for his family. He is, after all, its provider. And now, he can make more money in the process.
There had been reports that the running back wanted more money following a breakout year during which he became a featured component of the 49ers' No. 2 ranked
