San Francisco 49ers linebacker Gerald Hodges, who replaced ILB Michael Wilhoite as a starter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, left the game in the third quarter with an injury. He was replaced by Wilhoite.
Update:
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports that Hodges looks ok. Hodges returned to the game.
A few plays later, CB Rashard Robinson left the game when DL DeForest Buckner stepped on his left foot. Robinson left the field on a cart to go to the team's locker room.
Update:
Robinson's injury was to his knee. Following the game, he was seen walking with crutches.
Shortly after that, OLB Aaron Lynch left the game after his legs were buried by players under a pileup during a tackle. Lynch left the field with a limb, possibly indicating a foot/ankle injury to his left leg.
Update:
Lynch's injury was a high-ankle sprain according to the linebacker. He will have an MRI on Monday. "I'll be fine," Lynch said.
Shortly after that again, LB Nick Bellore went to a knee with an injury after a collision with another player. Bellore returned to the game.
Earlier in the quarter, DL
Arik Armstead left the game with a shoulder injury. That injury did not look serious and Armstead was seen on the sideline with his helmet on.

49ers GM John Lynch on Nick Bosa extension: "They don't come as quick as you'd like sometimes"

The San Francisco 49ers have seen consistent success over the past four years, making the NFC Championship Game three times and the Super Bowl once, despite not having an elite solution at quarterback.
Instead, they've maneuvered their way through the NFL Draft, acquiring stars such as Fred Warner, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Arik Armstead, Dre Greenlaw, and Jimmie Ward, all of whom earned a second contract extension with the team.
Now, those extension talks didn't all go smoothly, as Samuel requested a trade last offseason, while the 49ers were at odds with Kittle during negotiations.
However, the 49ers are soon to face their toughest task of them all: extending star edge rusher Nick Bosa, who could be in line to demand the biggest contract for a

"I'll let [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] make those kind of decisions, but I know, when we talk, I think Brock's probably earned that right to be the guy. If we were to line up, he'd probably take that first snap."
Of course, Lynch clarified that all quarterbacks—Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold—will compete for the 49ers' starting job. However,
Would the 49ers trade Trey Lance? John Lynch responds
John Lynch made one thing very clear on Monday morning during the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona. The San Francisco 49ers like their current quarterback room, comprised of Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold.
Lynch clarified one more thing: If Purdy were completely healthy and ready to play come Week 1, he would be the starter. Of course, there is so much uncertainty surrounding Purdy's health.
On March 10, the quarterback underwent surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow he suffered in the NFC Championship Game. His recovery is expected to go into September. Although, Lynch and the 49ers are hopeful the second-year
