The San Francisco 49ers: the most banged-up team after Week 1

[True Dough]

Oh boy!

TE George Kittle on the injured reserve with hamstring issues.

QB Brock Purdy is dealing with shoulder and toe issues that are making it look like he'll be unavailable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, and he may miss multiple weeks (Hello Mac Jones!)

WR Brandon Aiyuk tore his ACL and MCL last season and is still rehabbing. He might be able to return to the gridiron on Week 5 or 6.

In addition, according to ESPN:

Beyond Purdy, the Niners have plenty of other moving parts this week. Running back Christian McCaffrey (calf/veteran rest day), left tackle Trent Williams (knee/vet day), Bosa (vet day), defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) and wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) also did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

San Fran managed out a 17-13 victory over Seattle in Week 1. The Saints are not a good team, but it will be an uphill battle for the 49ers to maintain a winning record early this year with so many keg cogs unhealthy.

1. 49ers should not have cut Debo Samuels, IMO, it was a very bad move.

One they are already paying for.

2. Deebo looked good in his Washington debut

Almost 100 yards combined and a TD.

3. Yeah, I saw.

4. Every year it seems ...

it not Week 1, Weeks 2 or 3.

I believe they even replaced strength and conditioning coaches a few seasons ago.

5. Nick Bosa (Trumper) is gone for the season

Torn ACL.

6. Oh well ...

I was beginning to think my choosing S.F. to finish last in the NFC West this season was a mistake. The defense was showing promise under DC Saleh, and the new crop of rookies has been playing well. But it's a different defense without Bosa.

Shit.

7. Hey, those 49ers get to face another team this weekend that is awfully familiar with the injured reserve

The Bucs will not have starters Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Bucky Irving in the lineup. All out with injuries.

[True Dough]

8. San Fran's bad luck continues

Fred Warner, one of the best LBs in the league, is suspected to have a broken ankle. Carted off during today's game.
