Kyle Shanahan didn't sound too concerned about Jordan Reed's injury after the San Francisco 49ers' 36-9 victory over the New York Giants. He was optimistic that his tight end didn't suffer any long-term damage, noting that the 49ers would learn more tomorrow.
Reed appeared to roll his ankle during the first quarter but returned in the second. The 49ers later ruled the tight end out after the television broadcast showed the team's medical staff examining Reed's left knee and leg.
Shanahan said Reed indeed sustained ankle and knee injuries.
Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley was ruled out with a concussion after a collision in the second quarter with safety Jaquiski Tartt as the two defenders attempted to tackle Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
Other injuries from the game include running back Jerick McKinnon, who suffered an upper rib injury in the fourth quarter. Shanahan also noted that linebacker Mark Nzeocha suffered a quad injury.
The 49ers will return to the West Coast to begin preparing for their Week 4 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Let's start with a mea culpa. I got it wrong: It was, in fact, The Last Dance for that 49ers team.
You can blame many things for that completely errant prediction, but if pushed, I'd put it down to sheer belief and optimism that such a good 49ers team, that gave us all such...
Surprisingly, this question is being asked so frequently, but if we approach it objectively, the answer is quite straightforward. The short response is that the 49ers should not part ways with Kyle Shanahan or John Lynch, as they consistently win and most teams in the NFL would...
