Reggie Bush will have season-ending surgery on torn MCL

Nov 2, 2015 at 6:31 PM--


ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that San Francisco 49ers RB Reggie Bush will undergo season-ending surgery on Tuesday. He has a torn MCL according to his sources.

Bush's ACL is reported to be fine.

Bush slipped on the sideline concrete at the Edward Jones Dome while running out of bounds on a punt return. He did not get back up and was eventually carted to the locker room. He was on crutches in the locker room following the game.

RB Mike Davis will have surgery on his fractured hand on Tuesday as well. RB Carlos Hyde missed Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams to rest what is believed to be a fractured foot. Although, Ryan Sakamoto of NinerFans.com believes he may require surgery as well.

On Monday, the 49ers signed former Cleveland Browns RB Shaun Draughn. They also signed RB Jarryd Hayne, who the team waived on Saturday, to the practice squad. Although, it is possible Hayne gets elevated to the 53-man roster once Bush is placed on IR.

On Monday, the team also traded TE Vernon Davis to the Denver Broncos.

Ex-49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo underwent foot surgery in March

One of the biggest criticisms about Jimmy Garoppolo has been his availability. The quarterback wins football games but has been available for an entire season just once in his career—in 2019. Garoppolo's latest injury occurred on December 4 while with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran left a regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins with a foot injury. It was later revealed that he suffered a broken foot and would miss significant time. However, it wasn't believed to require surgery. That led to the emergence of Brock Purdy, the seventh-round draft pick that took the NFL by storm. He led the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game before suffering an injury himself. Garoppolo remained on the 49ers' 53-man roster through all that. The 49ers



Eagles' Lane Johnson agrees matchup vs. 49ers would have been "a different game" with healthy Brock Purdy

Lance Johnson fought through injuries to play in the Philadelphia Eagles' three playoff games, including the Super Bowl. The offensive lineman suffered a torn adductor injury late in the regular season but held off on undergoing surgery to participate in the Eagles' playoff run. Johnson was in pain throughout the run, which included an NFC Championship Game win over the San Francisco 49ers. However, the two-time All-Pro wasn't the only one fighting through an injury. Both of the 49ers' quarterbacks suffered injuries in the game. First, Brock Purdy left after tearing the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. Then, he was forced to return to the field after his backup, Josh Johnson, suffered a concussion. Purdy couldn't throw the football, though,



Have the 49ers anointed Brock Purdy too soon?

As the sun rose over the horizon, fans of the San Francisco 49ers came from all over, with great anticipation, as General Manager, John Lynch, slowly trudged his way upon the hill, disappearing into the fog for just a moment, and reappearing with Kyle Shanahan, to proclaim Brock Purdy the heir to the 49ers' QB throne. (Cue the "Circle of Life" track!) Alright, so it wasn't exactly like that. But the 49ers' brass has made it a point this offseason to ensure everyone knows Purdy is the team's starting quarterback, once he's healthy. And while it may have lacked the drama of a scene from The Lion King, the declaration was just as impactful. (You know, if we could have had Lynch look out over the kingdom, and then hold young Purdy up in front of the team's cheering



This PFF stat should have QBs worried about facing the 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have compiled one of the NFL's best rosters, hence their overall success over the last four seasons, which includes a Super Bowl appearance and three trips to the NFC Championship. A big portion of that success? The developed talent along the defensive line, which has been the core of the team ever since head coach Kyle Shanahan took over in 2017. After a down, but still fairly strong year from the defensive line in 2022, San Francisco added defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who had 11 sacks on the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022, to bolster the interior alongside Arik Armstead. Hargrave joins defensive end Nick Bosa, who led the team with 18.5 sacks en route to winning the Defensive Player of the Year award in
