Tom Compton replaced McGlinchey in the game. During his post-game press conference, head coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers would also consider rookie Jaylon Moore if McGlinchey had to miss extended time. However, the team opted against playing Moore on the right side on Sunday because Moore has been playing on the left side.
San Francisco made Moore a fifth-round draft pick out of Western Michigan in April.
The 49ers drafted McGlinchey (6-8, 310) out of Notre Dame with the No. 9 overall pick in 2018. He has 52 game appearances, all starts, through his four NFL seasons. McGlinchey's Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade of 70.0 is a career-high. However, his run-blocking grade of 64.8 is a career-low.
