The San Francisco 49ers already need a break.
San Francisco entered the 2024 National Football League season with extremely high hopes. The 49ers made a run to the Super Bowl last year, although it lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. San Francisco widely is considered among the top favorites in the NFC this season.
Things haven't gone well for the 49ers so far this season, though. The 49ers currently are 1-1 and have been one of the most unlucky teams in football this season. San Francisco can't seem to catch a break injury-wise right now. Neither Christian McCaffrey nor Deebo Samuel will play in the team's Week 3 clash against the Los Angeles Rams.
Tight end George Kittle is dealing with an injury of his own, putting his status for the clash in question. San Francisco isn't only dealing with injuries on the offensive side of the football, though.
Star cornerback Charvarius Ward is dealing with a hamstring/knee injury and now it's unclear if he will take the field with the 49ers in Week 3, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
"The injuries are coming fast and furious for the 49ers," Florio said. "On the same day tight end George Kittle didn’t practice due to a hamstring issue, cornerback Charvarius Ward also missed practice. Officially, Ward has a hamstring and knee injury.
"Ward’s potential absence comes at a time when safety Talanoa Hufanga is closing in on a return from last year’s ACL tear. Without Ward, the 49ers likely will lean more on veteran Rock Ya-Sin. The 1-1 49ers visit the 0-2 Rams on Sunday."
Hopefully, he is able to make a recovery and get back on the field in the near future,
