Significant 49ers Injuries

San Francisco suffered a major setback this week, losing second-year defensive end Arik Armstead to a season-ending shoulder injury.

It’s a good thing to sideline Armstead for the rest of the year. The 49ers aren’t going anywhere, so he needs to heal up properly for 2017.

But that’s not the only major injury. Here are the rest, courtesy of the team’s website:

  • G Zane Beadles (ankle/knee) — full practice
  • LB Nick Bellore (shoulder) — limited practice
  • DT Quinton Dial (knee/neck) — limited practice
  • DT Glenn Dorsey (knee) — limited practice
  • RB Carlos Hyde (shoulder) — limited practice
  • C Daniel Kilgore (hamstring) — limited practice
  • LB Aaron Lynch (ankle) — did not practice
  • CB Rashard Robinson (knee) — did not practice
  • WR Torrey Smith (back) — limited practice

Defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey saw the biggest amount of action in Week 9 since returning from a 2015 ACL tear. The Niners clearly hope he’ll be 100 percent, since he’s one of the better run defenders the team has.

Running back Carlos Hyde is in danger of missing his third consecutive game, although his absence last week opened up the door for backup RB DuJuan Harris to open up some eyes.

Signs are pointing to the 49ers being without linebacker Aaron Lynch and cornerback Rashard Robinson on Sunday as well, which doesn’t bode well for the defense.
