The San Francisco 49ers made Kentavius Street a fourth-round draft pick last year despite the defensive lineman coming off of an ACL injury, ensuring that he would not play in 2018. He was making his return to the football field and seemed like a good story heading into the new season.
Street will have to wait even longer for the opportunity to play in a regular-season NFL game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan informed reporters after Tuesday's practice that the defensive lineman will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee on Friday, making his future uncertain.
"Kentavius, he's battled through his knee all year," Shanahan said. "He's had some knee tendinitis throughout camp and stuff. A little similar to Dee Ford but he's been trying to battle through it and get a spot here.
"We decided yesterday that he can't do it anymore. We're going to get his knee scoped here on Friday, so we'll decide what to do after that. But he's going to have to get his knee scoped here Friday, which will be a setback for him, but it does not mean that he's still not going to be a part of us."
It sounds like the surgery will end yet another season for Street. Shanahan was asked if season-ending injured reserve is an option.
"It is the most likely," he responded. "Haven't decided that for sure but it's definitely the most likely."
