Yes, these are injuries that lifting weights and stretching can help

You just know they'll confirm torn ACL tomorrow. We never get good news on these things.

Have faith. Nobody knows yet.

When is the last time we waited for tomorrow's news after a scan and it was good news? We all know what's coming there's no point in having hope to be let down

Deebo in 2023. Thought he had a torn MCL ended up being a strain.

Good call! And also go f**k yourself cause you gave me some hope

Let's see. When Bosa was injured team didn't make it seem like it was serious and then MRI showed it was torn ACL. The nature of Mykel's injury seems odd that it's an ACL tear. Wouldn't be surprised if it's not an just a sprain.

They said bosas field testing was inconclusive. They didn't say it wasn't major.

f**king Metlife Stadium. Unbelievable that in 2025 some teams keep playing on Turf.
Nobody in European Football is playing on turf, nobody.

The only positive I can see here is hopefully he gets connected with Bosa and they both recover together spending time fine tuning one another.

Rash of serious injuries throughout the league but we tend to always have it worse than others. Last year was particularly ridiculous and yet this year has been two times worse

Ya that's not true at all. Buckner was a force from the get go. Armstead was widely considered a bust and took years to develop.

Buckner was not Bucker right away.

And you agree on Armstead so not sure what you are commenting on there.

Had 6 sacks rushing from the interior as a rookie. Blows away anything Williams has done. As of rn it looks like another s**t 1st rd pick. Praying he somehow gets healthy and develops

On the flip side you aren't completely wrong either. Some go overboard with Homer takes too. Like calling Mykel a superstar alongside Warner and Bosa is laughable.

My original thing as far as the draft goes is that you do not use a top 15 pick on a run defending edge setter that struggles with pass rush. That's just my opinion, everyone can feel however they want there. I believe run stuffing D Linemen can be found on later days of the draft and the first day is when you want their strength to be rushing the passer. That is what would've swayed me to take Jalon Walker over him on draft day because the two wasn't even comparable in the pass rush department in college.

All that said; again I will say that the jury is certainly not out yet. You might be one of only a handful thinking bust already.

Positions other teams pick in the first round
QB, CB, OT, pass rushing DE

positions niners pick in first
DT, WR, FB, Kicker, DT, DT, DT without knees
f**king tristan wirfs sitting there, niners just lost their OT but nope!!! DT with no knees

AND somehow the 49ers di better than almost all other teams. So why haven't these other teams minus the Chiefs, Eagles, and Rams done better?

I would love to be shocked with good news but the Deebo example wasn't comparable IMO. I can't recall the last time a team thought it was an ACL and it turned out to not be that(certainly not around here)

We've certainly had plenty of "mild" injuries turn into much more significant ones in our history...hell we have had a few just THIS season.

The fact that Mykel is posting up the Kobe post achilles tear quote on instagram also doesn't give the warm and fuzzies.

Would love to see an update shocking all of us with some good news(I'd even love to see a season ending like knee injury but not one that would keep him out during the offseason as well)

But we all know our luck...killer.

I have always complained about Shanahans strategy of team building. It doesn't mean that he's never had success. But the problems, I feel, have always been there and we NEVER fix the problems.

draft a punter in the 5th round. f**k it let's draft another in the 4th. Then draft a kicker in the 3rd.

every team has their own issues. The niners keep punching themselves in the dick with these obviously bad picks. Like the poster above said…

DONT DRAFT NOT PASS RUSHING DL IN THE TOP HALF OF THE DRAFT. ITS NOT HARD.

And how many Superbowls would have we won if we hit on half our misses?

Take Wirfs instead of Kinlaw or better yet keep Buckner, McGlinchey, Hufunga and DJ Jones.

Crazy thought...a 21 year old kid may not be a finished product and plenty of teams draft for potential.

In general Georgia hasn't produced big time pass rushing production. Some of their top sack guys have failed to produce in the NFL.

Nolan Smith never topped 4 sacks at Georgia and he's a speed rusher. He had 1 sack as a rookie. Was one of their key players in year 2 for their SB run. Jermaine Johnson didn't have big sack numbers there and had to transfer to FSU to hit double digit sacks. Another guy who didn't do much to get excited about as a rookie then made the PB as a 2nd year pro.

Mykel has been a really good player for us in what he provided vs the run and opening up opportunities for other guys. His presence will be missed as will his development opportunities.

The guy was 3rd in pressures as a rookie. Acting like he was a bad pick because he's not putting up Aldon Smith like rookie numbers is a major overreaction. Then again I saw your post in the Shanahan thread so I guess it's an on brand post.

We can't turn off the salary cap like it's Madden unfortunately.

And you can play the what if game in the draft for almost every team out there. What if Denver didn't trade up ahead of the Chiefs and "stole" Andy Reid's choice for Alex Smith replacement in Paxton Lynch? No Chris Jones with the Chiefs and no Patrick Mahomes.

That what if alone likely has Kyle Shanahan with 2 SB wins by now.
