49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has expressed concerns about the status of defensive lineman Maurice Hurst and linebacker Mychal Kendricks after they both left Sunday night’s game against the Chargers and are not income.
Hurst and Kendricks have both been listed as questionable to return after leaving the game earlier. Hurst suffers from an ankle injury while Kendricks has a problem with his toes. Shanahan said the fact that neither player returned to the game was an indication that the injuries could be more serious.
Hurst is in contention for a spot on a deep defensive line. He had a nice push in the middle on a quick pass early in the game. Hust left the game after playing just four defensive snaps.
Nine-year veteran Kendricks was signed after the first preseason game and could be in the mix to make the final roster as the team’s most experienced linebacker. He was injured after playing just one special teams snap – his first game of the year with his new team.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area also noted that offensive lineman Senio Kelemete, who left Sunday’s game late, is suffering from a back injury. Kelemete saw 36 plays at guard before his injury. Defensive back Alexander Myres suffered a concussion during the game. He saw 18 snaps on defense and 14 more on special teams before his concussion forced him out.
Shanahan is expected to have updates on injured players on Monday afternoon when he speaks to reporters.
